YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An upbeat mindset, good
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a valuable
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic blends
them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who maintained
their pain relief and stated an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still do activities regardless of
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they would not
get over reduced their recovery outcome. Knowing
these factors, researchers and your Pflugerville chiropractor
know that realistic expectations must be discussed 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 managed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we move 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 constructive improvement. Additional
good news emanates 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’s where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and create a solid
Pflugerville chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he shares
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Pflugerville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A new study compared those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more susceptible
to a greater 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 rapidly over a 3 day period.
This is commonly associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy when managing Pflugerville back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they occur.
