CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both
public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to growing
patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences
by Newell et al in J Patient Exp highlighted how much people appreciate
chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and
a decreased need for opioids—a huge win considering the
focus on trying to fix the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA
facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of
personalized, holistic care for veterans, assisting with both
acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research
within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) demonstrated that
more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for successful,
non-invasive solutions to contain chronic pain and musculoskeletal
issues. (2) This reflects a bigger shift in
healthcare, as patients and providers alike see chiropractic
care as a proven, integrative approach to tackling
common issues like back and neck pain. Both patients and public
health leaders are seeing the key role
chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective
pain management. This growth not only shows a positive
change in how chiropractic care is seen but also presents opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare
systems, benefiting a wide range of patients. Nice
news! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Katrina Weiland on The Back Doctors Podcast with
Dr. Michael Johnson about the use of
The
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to ease back pain
in an Air Force veteran.
TIP OF THE MONTH: POST-BACK SURGERY PAIN? EXERCISE AND
CHIROPRACTIC HELP!
Exercise and Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal
manipulation can significantly benefit back surgery patients managing recovery. New research in a 2024
systematic review published in The American Journal of Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation highlights that exercise assists
in reducing pain and improving functional
mobility after lumbar disc herniation surgery. (3) Similarly,
the Cox Technic has been tested useful
in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in
11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, shared in a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4)
Together, these approaches boost recovery and quality of
life, offering hope to those plotting
a course for them through post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to
restoring spine health while decreasing
discomfort. So good! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic welcomes post-back surgery patients looking for more healing and relief.
