Healthy News from Your Sitka Chiropractor February 2018
Sitka back pain patients are vital to our Sitka chiropractic practice. Our Sitka chiropractic patients’ thoughts and expectations are influential in the treatment you obtain and the clinical result from that Sitka chiropractic care you attain. Research reports that proponents of mind/body practices (like acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, massage, yoga in this report) deem that these practices treat, prevent and are more effective than other choices like drugs. (1) It is valuable for all caregivers to understand what their patients are thinking, believe and want. Be sure to tell us! What does a Sitka low back pain patient want from a healthcare provider? 90% expected an exam, tests, diagnosis, reassurance, advice, clear explanation for their pain, symptom management, and the benefits/risks of treatment. About 50% looked to be sent to a specialist. About 60% wanted to talk about life problems. (2) Does that sound like what you want? Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is open to lending an ear to you, talking, examining, diagnosing and treating you for Sitka back pain relief.
Listen to this PODCAST from the Back Doctors' Podcast series of a patient who expected relief without a back surgery and got it with Cox® Technic.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate’s reputation for helping prevent and even potentially regenerate disc cartilage grows. Its anti-inflammatory reputation and effect on osteoarthritis do as well. (Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka appreciates seeing the literature reveal this as Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka has recommended chondroitin sulfate to our Sitka chiropractic patients for years!) It’s being proposed as a slow-acting agent in the care of low back pain associated with osteoarthritis. (3) It hinders the actions of inflammatory agents linked to conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. (4, 5) Chondroitin sulfate use in the treatment of low back pain expands. Let us chat about its role in your own Sitka chiropractic treatment plan for Sitka back pain relief.
