August 2022 Healthy News from Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Effective Treatment of Disc Herniation and Balance Improvement

Often, the Tonawanda disc herniation treatment at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation effectively relieves back pain for those with disc herniation. (Veterinarians treat dachshunds’ discs conservatively, too!)

NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF

Back pain sufferers with disc herniations describe benefit from non-surgical treatment. One study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain documented higher quality of life scores and greater satisfaction with their spinal manipulative therapy care than those treated 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 experienced significantly greater pain relief than those who went through physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The back pain sufferers who also experienced radiculopathy - spine-related extremity leg pain - were significantly better when they underwent treatment with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and dachshunds - can be so lucky with the right treatment plan! A cute side-story that appeared while doing research for this article: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy presumedly linked to disc herniation did quite well with non-surgical treatment, especially those who started care with motor function undamaged. They had minimal 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!

Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation delivers spinal manipulation among other services to improve balance in older patients at risk of falling and those with spinal stenosis.

Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation

In older people, a greater risk of fracture over the following year was related to a fresh 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 higher in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical, psychological, and environmental objectives in managing fall-risk in the elderly involved muscle function improvement, decreased fear of falling, and better balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a recent study analyzed a treatment protocol incorporating (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older persons with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes got better. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Tonawanda balance is so significant. Together, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation and you can work to enhanced yours and/or that of a loved one.
