San Jose Chiropractic and Manipulation Ease and Keep Pain At Bay
“An apple a day…” Everyone can complete that saying! Access to chiropractic and spinal manipulation for San Jose back pain and neck pain sufferers is said to do the same. Access needs to be just as simple as access to apples! According to research, chiropractic and spinal manipulation relieve pain and lessen the need for escalated treatments and tests when they are easily accessible to neck and back pain sufferers. (Even dogs benefited from veterinary chiropractic spinal manipulation!) Chiropractic Solutions presents gentle spinal manipulation via a well-informed chiropractic treatment plan.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND SPINAL MANIPULATION AND BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT
Spinal manipulation is a staple treatment at Chiropractic Solutions with good reason! A rat study regarding the effect of manipulation and mobilization and sham treatment on decreasing neuroinflammation in acute lumbar radiculopathy (leg pain) demonstrated that manipulation and mobilization did a better job of relieving pain. Manipulation was a bit quicker in providing relief and decreasing severe radiculopathy. (1) Spinal manipulation and mobilization are leading treatments at Chiropractic Solutions for back pain and radiculopathy. We are here for you as soon as you bring your back pain and/or leg pain to our office! Chiropractic Solutions also knows that our San Jose chiropractic patients are excited to receive in-office care but not always as motivated to do their at-home care. They are not alone! 89% of chiropractic patients told researcher they went to their appointments. That is the easier part! 82% said their chiropractor’s recommendations for treatment and at-home care (stretching and exercise) made sense, but only 44% of them actually followed through in doing the at-home care. (2) We know it’s tough to make time at home, and we will keep doing our best at every visit to manage your spinal condition…and encourage you to do yours!
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC LESSENED NEED FOR MORE ADVANCED CARE
Researchers wondered just how access to chiropractic affected medically-directed spinal pain care in older adults. In an analysis of Medicare claims for 39,278 older adult chiropractic users, less access to chiropractic care expanded the use of medical services (primary care physician visits and spine surgeries) for spine pain conditions. The researchers likened this to an additional cost of $114,967 per 1000 beneficiaries ($391 million nationally). (3) That’s a lot of money and suffering. Chiropractic Solutions makes itself accessible to our San Jose spine pain sufferers! Further, 42% of neck pain patients get escalated treatments like imaging, injection, emergency room, surgery. Neck pain patients treated with spinal manipulation – 90% of which is performed by chiropractors in the US – were less likely to go onto escalated care. Only 26% of spinal manipulation patients went on to escalated care whereas 46% of neck pain sufferers who pursued other types of care did. Their risk of treatment escalation was double. (4) Chiropractic Solutions offers spinal manipulation. Your San Jose chiropractor is experienced in delivering safe, gentle, relieving spinal manipulation.
EVEN DOGS BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
There are chiropractic colleagues who also are quite good at performing spinal manipulation on animals! Interesting! Certain dog breeds like boxers have a tendency to acquire spondylosis deformans, a spinal disease distinguished by disc degeneration and bone spurs. A study of boxer puppies aged 8 weeks to one year compared puppies treated with veterinary chiropractic each month to same aged boxers not treated with chiropractic. At one year of age, the treated puppies were found to experience spondylosis significantly less (only 25% were found to have it on imaging) versus the control puppies (46.5% had it on imaging). This suggests that veterinary chiropractic treatment may beneficially lessen the probably of young boxers acquiring spondylosis. (5) Our San Jose furry companions benefit with chiropractic treatment, too!
