August 2022 Healthy News from Rosenberg Wellness Center Effective Treatment of Disc Herniation and Balance Improvement

Name: Rosenberg Wellness Center
Address: USA

Often, the New York City disc herniation treatment at Rosenberg Wellness Center successfully reduces back pain for those with disc herniation. (Veterinarians treat dachshunds’ discs conservatively, too!)

NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF

Back pain sufferers with disc herniations state benefit from non-surgical treatment. One study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain reported higher quality of life scores and more satisfaction with their spinal manipulative therapy care than those managed with prescription drug therapy. (1) Low back pain sufferers in a randomized control trial who were cared for using chiropractic (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction management for their low back pain had significantly greater pain relief than those who were treated with physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The patients who had radiculopathy - spine-related extremity sciatica - were significantly better when they underwent treatment with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and dachshunds - can be so well-cared for with the proper care! A cute side-story that appeared while doing research for this blog: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy supposedly linked to disc herniation did quite well with non-surgical treatment, particularly those who started care with motor function intact. They had low recurrence rates at 1 year (5%) and 2 years (11%), too. (3) Conservative care for spine pain, disc herniation, back pain, and leg pain is successful for many!

Rosenberg Wellness Center uses spinal manipulation among other services to improve balance in older patients at risk of falling and those with spinal stenosis.

New York City CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation

In older folks, a greater risk of fracture in the coming year was related to a recent fall within the past 4 months. (4) Risk of a recurrent fall for men and women or an injury from a fall in women was intensified in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical, psychological, and environmental goals in managing fall-risk in the elderly included improved muscle function, decreased fear of falling, and increased balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a new study evaluated a treatment protocol including (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes improved. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) New York City balance is so significant. Together, Rosenberg Wellness Center and you can work to enhanced yours and/or that of a loved one.
