YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
A positive mindset, sound
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a valuable
mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic blends
them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who continued with
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly confident that they could
still do activities despite
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as the worst ever from which they would not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Knowing
these factors, researchers and your Pensacola chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we move toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that sets
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is positive improvement. Additional
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and come up with a robust
Pensacola chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Pensacola CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Consider Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond its
ability to hear. They discovered that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more susceptible
to a greater risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 72-hour period.
This is often associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy when managing Pensacola back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and increased hip fracture risk, too! Pay
attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they develop.
