Healthy News October 2022 National Chiropractic Health Month!

Fort Wayne chiropractic care is being celebrated in this National Chiropractic Health Month. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic describes how its non-drug approach benefits spine pain, back pain, neck pain, and related pain management and even decreases use/need for opioids.  

National Chiropractic Care Month: Chiropractic Care Reduces Need for/Use of Opioids for Pain

At Aaron Chiropractic Clinic, October celebrates National Chiropractic Care Month. One beneficial aspect of chiropractic is the impact it has on pain management and relief without drugs. Researchers noted that the use of opioids for acute pain management is very common, yet come patients experience a tolerance to or dependence on opioids and do not prefer an opioid prescription. For such patients, non-pharmacological pain interventions incorporated chiropractic care, manual therapy, electrical nerve stimulation, yoga, exercise, physical therapy, bracing, hot/cold, massage, etc., as well as behavioral and psychological therapies like hypnosis, meditation, mindfulness, breathing, etc. Multimodal approaches like this may help. (1) Chiropractic delivers non-drug pain management. Comparing chiropractic neck pain or back pain patients to non-chiropractic care patients found that the chiropractic patients had almost half the risk of receiving a prescription for an opioid. (2) A study of the 9356 US chiropractic patients of a total of 55,949 Medicare spine pain patients revealed a 56% lower risk of filling an opioid prescription within a year of the first visit. Chiropractic care was associated with a significantly lower risk of filling an opioid prescription. (3) In a Canadian study, 24% of adults with noncancer spine pain got an opioid prescription. The risk of starting the opioids at one year was 52% less for chiropractic care patients and 71% less in chiropractic patients who began chiropractic care within the first 30 days of pain. (4) In this National Chiropractic Health Month, your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic invites all who are looking for a non-drug, more natural approach to health and pain relief!

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic encourages our chiropractic patients to enjoy some time in nature! Interacting with nature is good for young and old alike, inspires independence, pleasure, and for dementia sufferers quite possibly even memory-triggering. 

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Enjoy Nature!

Young and old alike benefit from interacting with nature. Too many Fort Wayne folks stay indoors or interact too much with our tech to get out in nature. The advantages of nature interaction are expanding especially for those who are aging and/or coping with dementia. New studies documented how the connection with the natural world was significant for people living with dementia, triggering a sense of comfort, pleasure, stimulation, meaning, and freedom which lead to higher quality of life, well-being, independence, identity, and social interaction. Nature supplied a sense of connection to self, place, and others. (5) Another study hopefully proposed that such engagement with nature might trigger memories of past such interactions, people, and places to keep a sense of self, too. (6) As one paper pondered in its title “connecting with the natural world – more than a breath of fresh air?” We’d say ‘yes’! Let us get out and enjoy nature (and a little exercise)! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is ready! Are you?
