As your Vancouver chiropractor, I
have seen firsthand the positive
impact that chiropractic care
can have on various types of
patients). From those struggling with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the consequences of
extended sitting, and even
athletes wanting to get
back to their sport and/or improve
their “game”,
chiropractic treatment can
deliver
a variety of benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three compelling
reasons why you may want to
consider visiting a
chiropractor at
Vancouver Disc Centers for your Vancouver back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS DECREASE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
look for
Vancouver 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 reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique utilized by
chiropractors) was effective in
decreasing 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 undergoing chiropractic
care
can give relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Vancouver
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) behind
it with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. Check

research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been expanded
concern 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 highlights
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Vancouver Disc Centers
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
In addition to
reducing
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients describe
high levels 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 published 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 suggests
that not only does chiropractic care
give 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!
