As your Groton chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
impact that various
types of patients can experience from
chiropractic care. From those dealing
with back pain to office
workers managing
the consequences of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes looking to get
back to their sport and/or enhance
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
deliver
numerous benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you should
consider visiting a
chiropractor at
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office for your Groton back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
seek out
Groton chiropractic care is to
manage back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
available in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients said they chose
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials showed
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique utilized by
chiropractors) was effective in
lowering chronic low
back pain for 92% and
boosting mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence suggests
that undergoing chiropractic
care
can provide relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Groton
chiropractic practice features
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of documented clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) done with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. See
the full list of case reports and
research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
In recent years, there has
been growing
concern about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
option for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies revealed
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who received
chiropractic care were less likely to use
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is an important finding, as it highlights
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
reducing
pain and reliance on medication,
many patients describe
a high degree of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
described earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported that
they were satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was associated
with significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This suggests
that not only does chiropractic care
provide effective
treatment, but it also advances a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
