As your Carrolltown chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
impact that various
types of patients can experience from
chiropractic care From those dealing
with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the consequences of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes wanting to return to their sport and/or improve
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
lots benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three compelling
reasons why you should
consider seeing a
chiropractor at
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation for your Carrolltown back pain and other
musculoskeletal
conditions.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the main reasons people
seek out
Carrolltown chiropractic care is to
address back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
published in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
chiropractic care for back pain.
Furthermore, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials showed
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique used by
chiropractors) was effective in
lowering chronic low
back pain for 92% and
increasing mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence suggests
that seeing a chiropractor
can give relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Carrolltown
chiropractic practice features
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of published clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) behind
it with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. Check

CHIROPRACTIC LOWERS RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
In recent years, there has
been growing
worry about the overuse and
potential harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
alternative for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies revealed
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not receive
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the potential role of chiropractors
like yours at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
reducing
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients describe
a high degree of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
described earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported that
they were satisfied or very
satisfied with their overall
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was related to significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
provide effective
treatment, but it also advances a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
