Healthy living. How do you define
that? Do you embody it? What are healthy living behaviors? Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is all about
healthy living. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! West Des Moines chiropractic patients can expect
their West Des Moines chiropractor to be a guide to the
healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them cope
with current spine pain issues but also avent
future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other
health issues that are best avoided.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good
diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, don’t they? A new
study proved that men who abided by
more of these healthy choices had lower risk
of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating
fruit and vegetables is an additional advantageous
healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to decrease the risk
of developing long term troubling low
back pain in women and even potentially improve
the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a
community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves
the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Using
a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control
when standing on unstable ground. This may be notably
welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they
are predisposed to be more unsteady. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa works with our West Des Moines back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CHOICE OF CARE
Choice of care for health care
issues leads to more healthy behaviors. When
patients are able to choose their provider for back
pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were less
than if they went to their medical doctor first and were
referred. Direct access results in a difference in costs and
outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain
relief found that their knowledge of
the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications influenced
their choice. (6)
