YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An upbeat mindset, good
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial
mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mingles
them all! A study that followed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who maintained
their pain relief and stated an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still perform activities regardless of
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as the worst ever from which they would not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Understanding
these factors, researchers and your Montreal chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to manage issues as we advance toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and disclose the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is positive improvement. Additional
good news comes from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to maintain your positivity and confidence and come up with a robust
Montreal chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A new study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond hearing. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study reported
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 72-hour period.
This is commonly related to dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy in dealing
with Montreal back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
