February 2022 Healthy News from Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. You and Your Spine Pain Practitioner Work Together with Manipulation & Exercise
Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the integration of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care compared with usual medical care plus chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is aimed to improve effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Borzone on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes relieving treatment of back pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted a patient to lessen her intake of pain medication as she felt less and less pain.
Blending efforts, whether it is it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is beneficial. In suffering with and seeking relief of back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The recent report of such a combination found that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. The patients’ range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Auburn back pain and neck pain patients report further benefit when they are involved in their care.
