CHRONIC BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Chronic back pain drives many sufferers to their doctors for relief. Chronic back pain’s effect
on the sufferer and his/her “default mode network” of living reflects the years lived with pain: the longer the pain stage
the more impact the pain has on the patient and his/her
cognitive pain coping attitude. (1) Not shocking, but it is
now described in the medical literature and will certainly
be studied more. It’s also known that lumbar
spinal stenosis patients vary in their symptom severity and improvement
path from “improving” to “fluctuating/improving” to “persistent.” (2)
Back pain is truly a unique journey, one your
chiropractor travels by your side as chiropractic care’s
spinal manipulation is high on clinical practice guidelines’ lists
of noninvasive, non-drug pain therapies. (3) In point of
published fact, non-surgical, conservative care options lead
treatment recommendations lists. Spinal manipulation, chiropractic’s forte, is
a leading recommendation in many treatment recommendation lists
by groups like the American College of Physicians and the American Pain
Society. (4) Using chiropractic care and such approaches as mindfulness
- which has been shown to improve pain-related functions - may be most helpful for you. (5)
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Joseph Beissel and his chronic back pain patient on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the use
of The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment protocols to manage
chronic back pain and allow you to enjoy your life a bit more.
Williamson CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Consider Peppermint
Oil: A Relaxing Boost!
We all may be in need of a boost occasionally. The past few stressful years
are catching up with us. Whether you are tired or healing,
peppermint may put some energy into your system. A recent
study shared that inhalation of peppermint post-back-surgery
reduced patients’ anxiety and pain levels. (6) Another
study found that peppermint oil inhalation decreased
cardiac surgery patients’ post-op nausea. (7) Adding peppermint oil to a
footbath for adolescents with primary headache disorder showed that
both the control and participant groups had a significant decrease
in headache pain and reduction in anxiety over time with no adverse events.
95.6% of the participants liked and recommended this! (8) Craving some relaxation? Peppermint oil may be of help!
