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 effectively 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. One study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain documented higher quality of life scores and more 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 underwent 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 patients who had radiculopathy - spine-related extremity leg pain - 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 care! An interesting side-story that came up while doing research for this article: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy supposedly related to disc herniation did quite well with non-surgical treatment, especially those who began care with motor function undamaged. They had low 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 beneficial 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 people, a greater risk of fracture over the following year was related to 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 goals in handling fall-risk in the elderly included muscle function improvement, decreased fear of falling, and increased balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a recent study analyzed a treatment protocol including (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes got better. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Fort Wayne balance is so crucial. Together, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic and you can work to enhanced yours and/or that of a loved one.
