Oxford Chiropractic Newsletter from Satterwhite Chiropractic for January 2016

 

Training. Location. Type of practice. The better trained the surgeon, the less spine surgery he or she performs. Midwest spine surgeons agree more about the type of surgery to perform for conditions than southwest based surgeons. Back surgeries are performed 4 times less in academic institutions while most back surgeries are done by private clinics.  (1) So how about trying some Oxford chiropractic care before even entering the spinal surgery arena for back pain or neck pain relief? Satterwhite Chiropractic can help direct your care should surgery become necessary.

 

For some time now, chiropractic integration into the care of our military – active and veteran - personnel is progressing, and those patients are highly satisfied with the care. Great news!  Chiropractic physicians in these settings manage all sorts of conditions from common neurological and musculoskeletal  issues (which show significant improvement) to severe injuries obtained in combat and complex cases and cases that include psychosocial factors. They work collaboratively with other health providers and focus on reducing morbidity for veterans and rehabilitating military service members to full duty status. (2) Chiropractors are back pain specialists! Satterwhite Chiropractic is proud of chiropractic’s contribution in this realm as well as its own contribution to healthcare in Oxford. 

 

Less Pain Sensation

 

Pain influences the mind. It’s hard to see the positive when suffering with pain. Chronic low back pain patients tend to have working memory issues and more catastrophizing when it comes to pain. They express higher pain levels daily and in movement-initiated pain compared to those who have no pain. (4) So chiropractic care at Satterwhite Chiropractic aims to offer pain relief enough to give hope and even some tips on how to move without provoking pain.
