August 2022 Healthy News from Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Effective Treatment of Disc Herniation and Balance Improvement

Often, the Auburn disc herniation treatment at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. successfully reduces back pain for those with disc herniation. (Veterinarians treat dachshunds’ discs conservatively, too!)
 

NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF

Back pain sufferers with disc herniations state benefit from non-surgical treatment. A study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain reported higher quality of life scores and more satisfaction with their spinal manipulative therapy care than those treated with prescription drug therapy. (1) Low back pain sufferers in a randomized control trial who were cared for using chiropractic (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction management for their low back pain had significantly greater pain relief than those who had physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The patients who had radiculopathy - spine-related extremity sciatica - were significantly better when they underwent treatment with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and dachshunds - can be so well-cared for with the right treatment plan! A cute side-story that appeared while doing research for this blog: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy presumedly linked to disc herniation responded well to non-surgical treatment, especially those who started care with motor function undamaged. They had minimal recurrence rates at 1 year (5%) and 2 years (11%), too. (3) Conservative care for spine pain, disc herniation, back pain, and leg pain is successful for many! 

 
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uses spinal manipulation among other services to improve balance in older patients at risk of falling and those with spinal stenosis. 
 

Auburn CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation

In older people, a greater risk of fracture in the coming year was related to a recent fall within the past 4 months. (4) Risk of a recurrent fall for men and women or an injury from a fall in women was increased in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical, psychological, and environmental goals in managing fall-risk in the elderly involved muscle function improvement, lowered fear of falling, and better balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a recent study analyzed a treatment protocol incorporating (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes improved. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Auburn balance is so crucial. Together, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. and you can work to enhanced yours and/or that of a loved one.
