SPINAL MANIPULATION IS EFFECTIVE
AND COST REDUCING FOR SPINE CARE
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center welcomes all spine
pain patients! We know the frustration that comes with spine pain. Pensacola chiropractic
spinal manipulation helps. Though low back pain is
a major cause of disability globally, its
sufferers who experience persistent or recurrent bouts of low back pain realize that chiropractic maintenance care is beneficial as it is
patient-centered care. (1) Neck pain sufferers, too, find help with chiropractic. Neck pain patients treated with
spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors in the US – were found to be 2.38 times less likely to need escalated and costly care like imaging,
injection, emergency room or surgery (just 26%) than patients who were treated
with other type of care (46%). (2) A new study of
Medicare patient claims states that patients who had reduced
access to chiropractic care had an increase in visits
(32.3 a year) to primary care physicians for spine pain and an increase in spine surgeries (5.5 a year) costing an extra $114,967 per 1000
Medicare beneficiaries and $391 million nationally. (3) Your Pensacola
chiropractor is well-qualified in performing
spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation
is and has been recommended as first-line treatment for low back
pain. Medicare claims’ reviews note
that chiropractors are the majority of healthcare providers for spinal
manipulation and that the general supply of spinal manipulation
providers is dropping. (4) Have no
fear! Your hometown, Pensacola chiropractor does not intend to
stop providing pain-relieving spinal manipulation, especially
the gentle, research-backed Cox® Technic style of spinal
manipulation.
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Kurt Olding on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents research
on the place of spinal manipulation in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management for the relief of spinal stenosis, a common spine pain condition
in the over-65 age set.
Pensacola CHIROPRACTIC TIP
OF THE MONTH:
Beneficial B Vitamins
B vitamins are beneficial. B12 deficiency is often
associated with dementia in patients over
65 years of age. It has also been found in young
people who have normal B12 levels but their
methylmalonic acid (MMA) level is high. Checking the MMA level
may be considered in patients with symptoms that seem unconnected
as in one patient with neuropathy, depression and stomach issues who tested a
high level of MMA. (5) Biotin (B7) supplementation
is demonstrating potential in the treatment of neuropathic pain
and could lessen the necessary doses of analgesic
drugs. (6) Riboflavin (B2) in foods and via supplements is known
for its antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects among others. A
new study found that
B2 to be anti-itch. (7) How are your B levels?
