February 2022 Healthy News from Rosenberg Wellness Center You and Your Spine Pain Practitioner Work Together with Manipulation & Exercise
Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the integration of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was documented as being beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus chiropractic care in higher quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is intended to enhance effectiveness and value of care as high costs and poor outcomes are familiar in spine care.

Blending efforts, be it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is important. In suffering with and seeking relief of back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The recent report of such a combination stated that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. The patients’ range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) New York City back pain and neck pain patients find further benefit when they are active in their care.
