Healthy News April 2023 Choosing the Back Pain Care Option for You and Adding Turmeric for Anti-Inflammatory Help
“Supermarkets” are amazing for food shopping but not necessarily for getting relief of Auburn back pain, grasping the basis of back pain, nor getting up in the morning without pain and welcoming the day. A new back pain sufferer may well get lost in this “supermarket” of healthcare options. Researchers described this comparison of back pain care options to goods on shelves in a supermarket as they witnessed this at their meetings where the latest in back pain care approaches were excitedly presented next to each other with each approach’s supporters telling about their outcomes (some with solid, accurately presented research evidence, some without). (1) It’s no wonder that back pain sufferers – who are not alone with a lifetime likelihood of low back pain for all of us being 85% (2) – are dazed and unable to make a choice. That is where our teamwork is useful. You share your expectations. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. will share the best evidence in creating a treatment plan to help you recover. Researchers analyzed patient preferences and goals for non-surgical treatment of chronic low back pain and reported that these are vital to patient outcomes. (3) YOUR goals of care are key: Do you want to walk further? Sleep better? Understand your pain more thoroughly? YOUR preferences for care are important: Do you feel spinal manipulation is for you? Or supervised rehab? Or psychotherapy?? Supervised therapy? Talk to a therapist?]33] As your Auburn chiropractor, I want to hear them. They will direct your care and enhance your clinical outcomes. We understand that conservative care for 4 to 6 weeks is recommended (in the absence of progressive neurological deficits and/or cauda equina syndrome) before imaging. (4) We also recognize that spinal manipulation is one of the top conservative recommended treatments. (5) When you are experiencing back pain, let us be your personal shopper, finding you the approach of chiropractic services to help you best!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kurt Olding on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes both The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as well as the healthcare path for back pain relief that is often confusing and non-congruent with current recommendations for the non-surgical, conservative care of back pain.
Turmeric (curcuma longa L.) is a plant well-recognized for its anti-inflammatory aspects due to its polyphenolic curcuminoids. In a scoping review of published papers, researchers determined that current evidence is great that suggests clinical benefit from taking turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, especially in inflammation-linked diseases like obesity-related metabolic disorders or musculoskeletal disorders (like back and neck pain). (6) Researchers always want more research to definitively recommend dosages and formulations. In the interim, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. and you can have a conversation about how turmeric’s addition to your nutrition plan may positively influence your pain relief and healing.
