THE ‘SUPERMARKET’ OF BACK PAIN CARE OPTIONS: How to Choose?

“Supermarkets” are great for gathering food but not necessarily for getting relief of New York City back pain, grasping the basis of back pain, nor getting up in the morning without pain and welcoming the day. A new back pain sufferer may well get lost in today’s “supermarket” of healthcare options. Researchers described this comparison of back pain care options to goods on shelves in a supermarket as they witnessed this at their meetings where the latest in back pain care approaches were excitedly presented next to each other with each approach’s supporters telling about their procedures (some with solid, accurately presented research evidence, some without). (1) It is no wonder that back pain sufferers – who are not alone with a lifetime likelihood of low back pain for all of us being 85% (2) – are dazed and unable to make a choice. That’s where our teamwork is useful. You share your expectations. We’ll share the best evidence in creating a treatment plan to help you get relief. Researchers analyzed patient preferences and goals for non-surgical treatment of chronic low back pain and discovered that these are critical to patient outcomes. (3) YOUR goals of care are important: Do you want to walk further? Sleep better? Understand your pain more thoroughly? YOUR preferences for care are important:  Do you want manipulation? Supervised therapy? Talk to a therapist?]33] As your New York City chiropractor, I want to know them. They will direct your care and enhance your clinical outcomes. We understand that conservative care for 4 to 6 weeks is recommended (in the absence of progressive neurological deficits and/or cauda equina syndrome) before imaging. (4) We also know that spinal manipulation is one of the top conservative recommended treatments. (5) When you are experiencing back pain, let us be your personal shopper, finding you the approach of chiropractic services to help you best!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kurt Olding  on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details both The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management and the healthcare path for back pain relief that is often perplexing and non-congruent with current suggestions for the non-surgical, conservative care of back pain.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Consider Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric

Turmeric (curcuma longa L.) is a plant well-recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties due to its polyphenolic curcuminoids. In a scoping review of published papers, researchers concluded that current evidence is great that suggests clinical benefit from supplementing turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly in inflammation-associated diseases like obesity-related metabolic disorders or musculoskeletal disorders (like back and neck pain). (6) Researchers always want more research to conclusively recommend dosages and formulations. In the meantime, Rosenberg Wellness Center and you can chat about how adding turmeric to your nutrition plan may positively influence your pain relief and healing.
