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 extensive. Fort Wayne opioid use is widespread. What is a solution? Chiropractic with Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Why? Opioids were hailed as a pill answer for chronic pain…costs soared, risks increased. Options and co-treatment approaches are called for. In a research investigation of 62,000 patients in six 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 issue were 49% less likely to take a prescription for an opioid than those who went to other healthcare providers. (1) Patients using on-going chiropractic care to manage their chronic low-back and neck pain told researchers that their pain would be more without such chiropractic care. Additionally, they are willing to pay for care to keep their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost varies 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 along with 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 allowed a patient to “forget” to visit him for a year as his pain was gone!

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 – want that edge when they do their thing. Spinal manipulation could be that edge! Elite Taekwondo athletes experienced increased muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The improved force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors persisted for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase persisted for at least 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - experienced improved performances in 2 football seasons during which they received spinal manipulation treatments before games. (4) A recent report shared that a single pre-exercise SMT elicited a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system in charge of controlling the body's unconscious actions) dominance and marginally diminished performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it boosts your edge. Let’s chat at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment.
