SPINAL MANIPULATION: A Beneficial Choice for Relief of Back Pain, Better Quality of Life, Reduced Risk of Tests and Prescriptions

Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is a choice for treatment of back pain, a choice not all back pain patients know about but may want to be. In a review of 83,025 insurance back pain claims, 28% of the claimants underwent treatment with SMT. Of them, 24% received SMT initially, 4% delayed using SMT, and 72% did not undergo SMT at all. Caring for initial back pain episodes with spinal manipulation decreased the risk of imaging studies, injection procedures, and/or back surgery by close to 30% compared with no SMT. Delayed SMT also raised the risk for these procedures. (1) A review of older Medicare chronic low back pain sufferers who underwent long-term care with SMT revealed that they had higher health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care than those who underwent long-term care with prescription drug therapy. (2) Older Medicare chronic low back pain patients who initially chose opioid analgesic therapy experienced a higher rate of adverse drug events than the patients who chose SMT care. (3) Spinal manipulation is our forte! Delivering gentle, research-documented spinal manipulation in the form of gentle, well-researched Cox® Technic is our choice. Come feel it!

Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

MANAGE OSTEOPOROSIS: Risk, Falls, Care

Osteoporosis-related falls are widespread as osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases. An analysis of two studies of older men and women with osteoporosis counted their falls. Overall, falls within 4 months were found to be indicators of higher risk for non-spine and hip fracture in the next year. In women, a recent fall denoted an 8.1% absolute risk of non-spine fracture in a year, a 2.5 times higher risk than women who had not had falls, a 2.5% absolute risk of hip fracture, and a 3.1 times higher fall risk. (4) Falls aren’t good. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is ready to help you avert falls and osteoporosis-related fractures. We can talk about addressing options like nutrition (calcium and vitamin D supplementation, etc.), gut microbiota balance, and exercise within the Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan for osteoporosis management. (5,6) Researchers noted that patients understood the benefit of non-pharmacological management of osteoporosis including exercise, nutrition, and fall prevention but confessed that they found it difficult integrating these approaches into daily life.
