As your Minster chiropractor, I
have seen firsthand 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
extended sitting, and even
athletes wanting to get
back to their sport and/or improve
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
numerous benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you may want to
contemplate seeing a
chiropractor at
Minster Chiropractic Center for your Minster back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS DECREASE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
look for
Minster chiropractic care is to
manage back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
available in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
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
decreasing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
increasing mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence suggests
that seeing a chiropractor
can give relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Minster
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of published clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) behind
it with respected
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. Check

research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC LOWERS RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been expanded
concern about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
research has shown
that chiropractic care may be an effective
alternative for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is a
valuable finding, as it emphasizes
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Minster Chiropractic Center
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
decreasing
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients describe
a high degree of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
mentioned earlier found
that 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study published in the
British Medical Journal showed that
chiropractic care was related to significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
deliver effective
treatment, but it also advances a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
detailed patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
