YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An optimistic mindset, good
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a beneficial
mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mixes
them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year documented that those who continued with
their pain relief and described an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still participate in activities despite
their pain. Those who experienced widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they’d not
get over reduced their recovery outcome. Knowing
these issues, researchers and your Baton Rouge chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may come into play for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we move toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and disclose the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is encouraging improvement. Additional
good news arises from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that mentioned how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to maintain your positivity and confidence and create a solid
Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

what realistic expectations are for back pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more susceptible
to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly associated with a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on rapidly over a 72-hour period.
This is commonly related to dizziness and
ringing in the ears, medicated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy when dealing
with Baton Rouge back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Pay
attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they occur.
