Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our West Des Moines
back pain and neck pain patients desire from our
West Des Moines chiropractic care. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa realizes
this and provides this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients want. Relief
is possible. We will discuss how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa always puts our back pain and
neck pain patients at the core of care. We pay attention
to what our West Des Moines chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot
do now. It makes sense to put such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain explains
that patient-led goal setting is effective alone as part of the treatment plan in attaining
desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can boost the chances of their own relief! That’s why we question
our West Des Moines back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa purposely wants to set
realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many West Des Moines
back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few ideas
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery possibilities:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear
parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant
removal may be warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these ideas in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: reduced
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. The researchers acknowled that
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may have something
to do with the outcomes. (3) At Executive Chiropractic of Iowa, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is shown beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
West Des Moines chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares
for a variety of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic measured
how spinal stiffness may impact positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be delivered in the gentlest manner
in several doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research reported on
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in reducing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by eliminating reactive oxygen species! (4)) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
has a way to help our patients get what they want:
results.
