SPINAL MANIPULATION IS EFFECTIVE
AND COST REDUCING FOR SPINE CARE
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. welcomes all spine
pain patients! Spine pain
is disconcerting for its sufferers. Auburn chiropractic
spinal manipulation helps. Though low back pain is
a major cause of disability around the world, its
sufferers who experience persistent or recurrent bouts of low back pain find chiropractic
maintenance care worthwhile as it is
patient-centered care. (1) Neck pain sufferers, too, find help with chiropractic. Neck pain patients who undergo
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 more expensive care like imaging,
injection, emergency room or surgery (just 26%) than patients who were treated
with other kinds of care (46%). (2) A new study of
Medicare patient claims reports that patients who had decreased
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 Auburn
chiropractor is well-qualified in performing
spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation
is and has been advised as first-line treatment for low back
pain. Medicare claims’ reviews point out
that chiropractors are the majority of healthcare providers for spinal
manipulation and that the general supply of spinal manipulation
providers is falling. (4) Do not worry! Your hometown, Auburn chiropractor has no intention of not providing pain-relieving spinal manipulation, particularly
the gentle, research-supported 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 group.
Auburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP
OF THE MONTH:
Beneficial B Vitamins
B vitamins are beneficial. B12 deficiency is often
linked with dementia in patients over
65 years of age. It has also been seen in younger
people who have normal B12 levels but their
methylmalonic acid (MMA) level is high. Testing the MMA level
may be a useful test in patients with symptoms that seem unrelated
as in one patient with neuropathy, depression and stomach issues who tested a
high level of MMA. (5) Biotin (B7) supplementation
is showing potential in the treatment of neuropathic pain
and could reduce the necessary doses of analgesic
drugs. (6) Riboflavin (B2) in foods and via supplements is renowned
for its antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects among others. A
new study found that
B2 to be anti-itch. (7) Are your B levels good?
