The Value of West Des Moines Healthy Living
Healthy living. How do you describe that? Do you embrace it? What are healthy living behaviors? Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is all for healthy living. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! West Des Moines chiropractic patients can trust their West Des Moines chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them cope with current spine pain issues but also ward off future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those sound about right, do they not? A new study showed that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had lower possibility of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to lessen the possibility of having long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control when standing on unstable ground. This may be especially helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa works with our West Des Moines back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CARE CHOICE
Choice of care for health care issues encourages 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 makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief shows that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network endorsements, geographical proximity, and credentials of the doctor influenced their choice.
