Vancouver Disc Centers Works to Deliver Back Pain Relief Goals You Want
Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Vancouver back pain and neck pain patients want from our Vancouver chiropractic care. Vancouver Disc Centers gets this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients desire. Relief is possible. We’ll discuss how, how much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Vancouver Disc Centers always puts our back pain and neck pain patients at the core of care. We listen to what our Vancouver chiropractic patients want to do that they cannot do now. It is sensible to place such a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies regarding the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain reports that patient-led goal setting is important in and of itself as a treatment element to attaining desired back pain relief. (1) This is longed-for news to the millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute to their own relief! That is why we question our Vancouver back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do that they can’t do now. The one thing - or several things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Vancouver Disc Centers intentionally wants to set realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many Vancouver back pain sufferers deliberate 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 be a factor 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 ideas in mind, let’s consider another report that highlights the immediate beneficial effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly, baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may impact the outcomes. (3) At Vancouver Disc Centers, 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
Vancouver 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 play a role in 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 reported on 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)) Vancouver Disc Centers has a way to help our patients get what they want: results.
