Aaron Chiropractic Clinics Healthy News for March 2017
In a new report, researchers share treatment outcomes of patients with implanted spinal stimulators for post-surgical continued back pain management. Patients with these devices have “failed back surgery syndrome” with continued back pain post surgically. After being treated with chiropractic spinal manipulation or mobilization, patients with these stimulators reported no adverse side effects. (1) The first rule of being a physician is “Do no harm”. Spinal manipulation and mobilization meet that rule in this study’s findings. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers Fort Wayne chiropractic care that does not harm. Schedule a visit today!
Chronic Neck Pain Patients Walk More Stiffly
Patients with chronic neck pain have a shorter stride and less thoracic spinal rotation when walking. This will likely have long term effects on the spine. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic’s best advice: Don’t let neck pain become chronic. Get Fort Wayne chiropractic care relief sooner than later, and walk less stiffly.
Post-Back Surgery or Not, Exercise 150 minutes a Week!
National guidelines suggest that we all get 150 minutes of exercise a week. Only 52% of us Fort Wayne non-back pain folks do this! Sadly, even fewer - just 26% - post-back surgery patients do this. It is shown that 150 minutes prevents more back surgery and helps post-surgical back pain patients going. They also experience less back pain after surgery. (3) Physical exercise is so important. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic promotes a walk a day to all Fort Wayne chiropractic patients.
Pain Medications for Back and Leg Pain – Not Effective Over Placebo
NSAIDs offer similar pain relief and overall improvement as placebo but with higher risk of adverse side-effects says a new meta-analysis, a high form of research reporting. And NSAIDs continue to be one of the most frequently prescribed meds for sciatica! (4) NSAIDs are reported as effective for spine pain in a different study, but the difference is not clinically relevant between NSAIDs and placebo. It further says that there are no simple analgesics that give clinically important relief over placebo. (5) Well, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic’s non-drug Fort Wayne chiropractic care is pain-relieving!
