Instead of opioids, Fort Wayne chiropractic is valuable for chronic pain management and relief. 

Chronic Pain: Opioids? Use Chiropractic Instead.

Fort Wayne chronic pain is rampant. Fort Wayne opioid use is epidemic. What’s a solution? Chiropractic with Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Why? Opioids were hailed as a pill solution for chronic pain…costs soared, risks increased. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research analysis of 62,000 patients in 6 studies of chiropractic use and opioid prescribing, use of chiropractic care fluctuated from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who saw a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain problem were 49% less likely to obtain a prescription for an opioid than those who went to different healthcare providers. (1) Patients using on-going chiropractic care to cope with their chronic low-back and neck pain expressed to researchers that their pain would be higher without such chiropractic care. Further, they are willing to pay for care to maintain their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost ranges from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Fort Wayne chiropractic patients at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic highly regard their chiropractic care! Fort Wayne chiropractic services benefit chronic pain in addition to or without opioids.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how chronic back pain treatment without opioids using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management permitted a patient to “forget” to visit him for a year as his pain was absent!

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers spinal manipulation to athletes of all types – recreational and professional – to boost their efforts.

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Spinal Manipulation Before Sports

Fort Wayne athletes – recreational and professional – desire that edge when they do their activity. Spinal manipulation might be just that! Elite Taekwondo athletes felt added muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The increased force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors went on for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase lasted for not less than 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - felt improved performances in 2 football seasons during which they had spinal manipulation treatments before games. (4) A new report said that a single pre-exercise SMT brought about a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system in charge of regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and marginally lessened performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it boosts your edge. Let us talk at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment.
