Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Pflugerville
back pain and neck pain patients desire from our
Pflugerville chiropractic care. Pflugerville Wellness Center realizes
this and provides this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients want. Relief
is possible. We will talk about how, how
much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Pflugerville Wellness Center always puts our back pain and
neck pain patients at the core of care. We pay attention
to what our Pflugerville chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot
do presently. It is sensible to place such
a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about
the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain indicates
that patient-led goal setting is important alone as part of the treatment plan in getting
desired back pain relief. (1) This is welcome news to the
millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute
to their own relief! That’s why we ask
our Pflugerville back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do
that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several
things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Pflugerville Wellness Center purposely wants to establish
realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many Pflugerville
back pain sufferers wonder if surgery is
better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few ideas
on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery issues:
(A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in
spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented
long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant
failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear
parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant
removal may be warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal
stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial
effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: reduced
muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly,
baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may impact the outcomes. (3) At Pflugerville Wellness Center, our Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for
a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Pflugerville chiropractic care of back and neck pain cares
for a multitude of spinal conditions in patients
of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic have shown
how spinal stiffness may impact positive outcomes. Spinal
manipulation via Cox® Technic may be applied in the gentlest manner
in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable
for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out the
treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research stated
the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in slowing
the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell
level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Pflugerville Wellness Center
has a way to deliver what our patients want:
results.
