YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
A positive mindset, good
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a valuable
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mingles
them all! A study that followed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who continued with
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 experienced widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they’d not
get over decreased their recovery outcome. Understanding
these issues, researchers and your New Roads chiropractor
know that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we advance toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and share 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 encouraging improvement. Additional
good news arises from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that mentioned how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That is where we
work together to keep you
positive and confident and come up with a robust
New Roads chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
New Roads 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 its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a increased risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study reported
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day period.
This is commonly associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We realize inflammation is an enemy in dealing
with New Roads back pain and neck pain, and it is apparently an enemy
of ear pain and increased hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they occur.
