As your McHenry chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
impact that chiropractic care
can have on various types of
patients). From those dealing
with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the effects of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes wanting to return to their sport and/or improve
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
various benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you may want to
consider visiting a
chiropractor at
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for your McHenry back pain and other
musculoskeletal
conditions.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
seek out
McHenry chiropractic care is to
address back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
available in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique utilized by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
increasing mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment at
all. (1) This evidence suggests
that seeing a chiropractor
can give relief for those hurting
with back
pain.
Bonus: Our McHenry
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of documented clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) performed with respected
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. See
the full list of case reports and
research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC LOWERS RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
In recent years, there has
been expanded
worry about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. However,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
alternative for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these strong
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the potential role of chiropractors
like yours at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
lowering
pain and reliance on medication,
many patients report
high levels of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
described earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very
satisfied with their overall
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was associated
with 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 promotes a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
detailed patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
