August 2022 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Effective Treatment of Disc Herniation and Balance Improvement

Often, the Fort Wayne disc herniation treatment at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic successfully relieves back pain for those with disc herniation. (Veterinarians treat dachshunds’ discs conservatively, too!)
 

NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF

Back pain sufferers with disc herniations describe benefit from non-surgical treatment. A study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain documented higher quality of life scores and greater satisfaction with their spinal manipulative therapy care than those managed 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 experienced significantly greater pain relief than those who were treated with physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The back pain sufferers who also experienced radiculopathy - spine-related extremity leg pain - were significantly better being treated with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and dachshunds - can be so well-cared for with the right treatment plan! An interesting side-story that came up while doing research for this blog: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy supposedly linked to disc herniation did quite well with non-surgical treatment, particularly 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! 

 
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic delivers spinal manipulation among other services to improve balance in older patients at risk of falling and those with spinal stenosis. 
 

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation

In older folks, a higher risk of fracture in the coming year was associated with a fresh 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 intensified in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical, psychological, and environmental objectives in managing fall-risk in the elderly involved muscle function improvement, lowered fear of falling, and improved balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a new study tested a treatment protocol incorporating (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older persons with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes improved. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Fort Wayne balance is so crucial. Together, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic and you can work to improve yours and/or that of a loved one.
