Vancouver Disc Centerss October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
Vancouver knee pain is a pain that Vancouver Disc Centers sees often. Pain meds and surgical options are commonly recommended while a new non-surgical chiropractic protocol is showing quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique used in clinic daily for Vancouver back pain and neck pain relief - were amended for use with knee pain. They are shown to be of help in easing knee pain. Overall, knee pain patients’ mean pain scores fell from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale 1 least pain, 10 most pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores dropped more dramatically from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores dropped from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. No one in the study experienced any adverse reactions. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable. Check out a PODCAST by the author of this paper about his clinical experience in treating knee pain. This is an exciting addition to Vancouver Disc Centers’s Vancouver chiropractic care! Vancouver knee pain sufferers are welcomed to experience this gentle, relieving Vancouver knee pain treatment!
Vancouver CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Strengthen the Hip Abductors
All of us can benefit from stronger hip abductors, and Vancouver older folks gain even more. A new article reports that people with chronic low back pain typically have hip abductor weakness, too. (Vancouver Disc Centers agrees as this pairing is seen often in this Vancouver chiropractic practice.) A simple series of hip abductor exercises relieved pain and improved function for a set of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy! Vancouver Disc Centers will share some hip strengthening exercise moves you can do in the convenience of your own home along with the Vancouver chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox Technic in office to achieve such relief yourself.
