New York City Chiropractic Newsletter for July 2016
In younger back pain patients, those 21 to 54 years old, the more recognized side-lying thrust chiropractic spinal manipulation produces short term effects of improvement in low back pain the same as non-thrust flexion distraction spinal manipulation. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center uses the non-thrust chiropractic flexion distraction technique, Cox Technic, and finds that New York City patients in all age groups and especially those 60, 70, or 80 years old really appreciate the gentle non-thrust approach to their back pain relief! How about you? Rosenberg Wellness Center invites you to experience the gentle, New York City chiropractic difference.
Chronic neck pain and chronic cervicogenic headache patients benefit from specific strengthening exercises of the neck, scapulothoracic area and shoulder. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center knows that headaches bother many New York City patients and know that Rosenberg Wellness Center can help with the gentle, safe chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation alongside your exercising at home. What a great combination!
Neck surgery is a serious undertaking. Just ask any post-neck surgery patient. How long do neurosurgeons who do neck surgeries for cervical disc herniations with arm pain wait before doing neck surgery? 8 to 12 weeks. (3) That’s just enough time for your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center to help! In a study of 39 patients with cervical disc herniation and arm pain, treatment with chiropractic, non-surgical Cox Technic as used in this chiropractic clinic produced pain reduction in a mean of 13.2 treatments for a drop of 41.2 points on the visual analog scale. (4) That’s relief without surgery!
Curcumin from turmeric (a spice known for its anti-inflammatory properties) shows “superior results over corticosteroids” in helping inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis. (5) Further, curcumin is shown to promote peripheral nerve regeneration and recovery. (6) And the bonus is that curcumin is a natural approach to pain and inflammation reduction! Then combining curcumin with the New York City chiropractic Cox Technic’s stretching may well produce even more satisfactory results since stretching of the connective tissues is shown help reduce inflammatory mechanisms within the tissue in the early stages of inflammation. (7) Rosenberg Wellness Center’s multi-pronged approach to pain relief is beneficial for New York City patients.
