Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Vancouver
back pain and neck pain patients desire from our
Vancouver chiropractic care. Vancouver Disc Centers gets
this and delivers this with reasonable expectations in concert
with our spine pain patients desire. Relief
is feasible. We’ll discuss how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Vancouver Disc Centers keeps our back pain and
neck pain patients at the core of care. We pay attention
to what our Vancouver chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot
do now. It makes sense to put such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies regarding
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain indicates
that patient-led goal setting is important in and of
itself as a treatment element to attaining
desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute
to their own relief! That’s why we ask
our Vancouver back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they can’t do now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Vancouver Disc Centers intentionally wants to establish
realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many Vancouver
back pain sufferers deliberate if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article proposes a few ideas
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery possibilities:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may be a factor in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear
parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant
removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. The researchers acknowled that
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may have something
to do with the outcomes. (3) At Vancouver Disc Centers, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Vancouver chiropractic care of back and neck pain addresses a multitude of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown
how spinal stiffness may impact positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be applied in the gentlest manner
in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition complement the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in reducing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Vancouver Disc Centers
has a way to deliver what our patients want:
results.
