Vancouver Disc Centers sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Vancouver chiropractic patients can expect their Vancouver chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope with exisiting spine pain issues but also avent future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Not smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, don’t they? A recent study described that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had lower risk of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This plus the other behaviors appeared to reduce the chance of having long term upsetting low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing a lumbar support belt increases postural control when standing on unstable ground.  This may be especially welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unsteady. (4) Vancouver Disc Centers works with our Vancouver back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CHOICE OF CARE

Choice of care for health care issues generates more healthy behaviors. When patients are given the opportunity to choose their provider for back pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower than if they went to their medical doctor first and were referred. Direct access results in a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief found that their familiarity with the doctor’s treatment, social network endorsements, geographical proximity, and credentials of the doctor prompted their choice.
