March 2017 Healthy News for Auburn Chiropractic Patients
In a new report, authors report on treatment outcomes of patients with implanted spinal stimulators for post-surgical continued back pain management. Patients with these devices have “failed back surgery syndrome” with continued back pain after back surgery. After being treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation or mobilization, patients with these stimulators reported no adverse side effects. (1) The first rule of being a physician is “Do no harm”. Spinal manipulation and mobilization meet that rule in this study’s findings. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. offers Auburn chiropractic care that does not harm. Schedule a visit today!
Chronic Neck Pain Patients Walk More Stiffly
Chronic neck pain patients seem to walk more stiffly. Why? Their stride is shorter and their mid-spine does not rotate as much. This will likely have long term effects on the spine. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.’s best advice: Don’t let neck pain turn chronic. Seek Auburn chiropractic care relief sooner than later, and walk less stiffly.
150 minutes of Exercise a Week – For All of Us Especially After Back Surgery
National guidelines recommend that we all get 150 minutes of exercise weekly. How many of us Auburn folks do? Just 52%! Sadly, even fewer - just 26% - post-back surgery patients do this. It is shown that 150 minutes keeps post-surgical back pain patients moving and away from another surgery. These post-surgical patients also experience less back pain after surgery. (3) Physical exercise is so important. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. urges all of our Auburn chiropractic patients to do something every day like take a little walk.
Placebo and Pain Meds for Back and Leg Pain Similar
A meta-analysis, the highest form of research reporting, shares that NSAIDSdespite their being. one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for sciatic leg pain offer similar pain relief and overall improvement to placebo with a higher risk of adverse side-effects. (4) NSAIDs are reported as effective for spine pain in a different study, but the difference is not clinically relevant between NSAIDs and placebo. It further says that there are no simple analgesics that give clinically important relief over placebo.
