The Fort Wayne spine pain practitioner leads treatment toward back and neck pain relief in an organized, collaborative fashion.

YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Lessen Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription Fills, Improve Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion 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 outcomes of usual medical care versus 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 used chiropractic care were at significantly lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Incorporating such care into the healthcare system is meant to improve effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care. (3) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to deliver the pain relief we all desire for you! Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Combining efforts, be it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is helpful. 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) Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients report further benefit when they are involved in their care.
