Healthy News from Your Vancouver Chiropractor February 2018
Vancouver back pain patients are vital to our Vancouver chiropractic practice. Our Vancouver chiropractic patients’ thoughts and expectations play a role in the treatment you obtain and the clinical result from that Vancouver chiropractic care you get. Research shows that proponents of mind/body practices (like acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, massage, yoga in this article) deem that these practices treat, prevent and are more effective than options like drugs. (1) It’s useful for all caregivers to know what their patients are thinking, believe and want. Be sure to communicate that to us! What does a Vancouver low back pain patient want from a physician? 90% expected an exam, tests, diagnosis, reassurance, advice, clear explanation for their pain, symptom management, and the benefits/risks of treatment. About 50% hoped to be sent to a specialist. About 60% wanted to share life problems. (2) Does that sound like what you want? Vancouver Disc Centers is open to lending an ear to you, talking, examining, diagnosing and treating you for relief of your Vancouver back pain.
Listen to this PODCAST from the Back Doctors' Podcast series of a patient who expected relief without a back surgery and got it with Cox® Technic.

It’s being reported as a slow-acting agent in the care of low back pain linked to osteoarthritis. (3) It deters the actions of inflammatory agents connected to conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. (4, 5) Chondroitin sulfate usage in the treatment of low back pain expands.
