Healthy News December 2018: Lower Odds of Back Surgery & Depression
West Des Moines chiropractic patients realize that visiting their chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is valuable. Their back pain and neck pain eases. West Des Moines chiropractic patients feel better when they leave Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. A benefit West Des Moines chiropractic patients may not necessarily realize since they are chiropractic patients already is that consulting a chiropractor lowers the chance of back surgery. A recent report stated that there is a “very strong association” between back surgery and the first healthcare provider seen for the back pain injury. 42.7% of workers who consulted a surgeon|first saw a surgeon first had surgery while only 1.5% of those who consulted a chiropractor first had back surgery. (1) Plus, the chiropractic adjustment really boosts the autonomic nervous system. This connection between the autonomic nervous system and the adjustment is noted particularly for a tension-type headache sufferer with major depression whose relief is described in a new published paper. (2) For a depressed West Des Moines back pain sufferer, any relief from chiropractic care is pleasing!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kevin Keyes on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about a patient who was considering back surgery when she visited him for her back pain and found relief with his chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System.
