YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An optimistic mindset, good
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a valuable
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic combines
them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who maintained
their pain relief and described an improved quality of
life were also highly confident that they could
still perform activities despite
their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they would not
get over reduced their recovery outcome. Understanding
these issues, researchers and your Groton chiropractor
know that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
understood 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 managed. We listen
thoroughly 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. More
good news arises from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that noted how many issues
are modifiable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and form a solid
Groton 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.
Groton CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study compared those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond hearing. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a greater risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 72-hour period.
This is often related to 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 know inflammation is an enemy in managing Groton back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and increased hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
