August 2020 Healthy News from Spine & Sports Rehab Center: Pain Reducers: Spinal Manipulation and Ginger

Baton Rouge  chronic pain patients can rely on Spine & Sports Rehab Center for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that follows today’s research guidelines and includes spinal manipulation.

CHRONIC MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN CARE: SPINAL MANIPULATION

A new study offers the latest recommendations on managing and relieving chronic musculoskeletal pain. The goal? Get care to be more consistent, encourage collaborative care among a variety of healthcare providers, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Spine & Sports Rehab Center knows our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients would appreciate that! Guidelines for musculoskeletal conditions - low back pain, neck pain, tension headache, osteoarthritis (knee and hip) and fibromyalgia – incorporated acupuncture, spinal manipulation/mobilization, modalities (electrical current, laser), exercise (yoga), mind-body practices (meditation and cognitive therapy), lifestyle changes (diet, no smoking), and referral for co-management as needed. (1) These recommendations reiterate and improve prior such studies. One group of researchers proposed reassurance, advice, education, spinal manipulation along with exercise, myofascial therapy or normal medical care when beneficial for chronic low back pain. (2) Another research group reviewed complementary medicine for musculoskeletal conditions and reported that good/moderate quality evidence backed using spinal manipulation/mobilization, yoga, and acupuncture for chronic low back pain and neck pain. (3) Spinal manipulation is a well-honed chiropractic skill while the other recommendations are all accessible within the individualized Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan. Let’s work on your chronic musculoskeletal pain!

Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Baton Rouge PAIN REDUCER: GINGER!

Ginger adds zest to food and to pain-relieving efforts! Pain-reducing effects of ginger come from its anti-oxidant capability and its capacity to stop prostaglandins and pain-related nociceptor activity. Ginger’s pain-lowering effect holds promise and is safe by all the latest studies. (4) Ginger swallowed orally has been safely done in many studies. One specific study reported that osteoarthritis patients’ pain dropped significantly as did disability. (5) Such a simple herb, ginger, holds such zesty promise!
