As your Oxford chiropractor, I
have seen firsthand the positive
impact that chiropractic care
can have on various types of
patients). From those struggling with back pain to office
workers dealing with
the consequences of
extended sitting, and even
athletes looking to return to their sport and/or enhance
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
deliver
lots benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you may want to
contemplate visiting a
chiropractor at
Satterwhite Chiropractic for your Oxford back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the main reasons people
look for
Oxford chiropractic care is to
manage back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
available in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients said they chose
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique used by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
boosting mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment at
all. (1) This evidence suggests
that seeing a chiropractor
can give relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Oxford
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of documented clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) behind
it with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. Check

research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
In recent years, there has
been growing
concern about the overuse and
potential harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
option for handling
musculoskeletal pain without
depending on these strong
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who received
chiropractic care were less likely to use
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is an important finding, as it highlights
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Satterwhite Chiropractic
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
In addition to
decreasing
pain and reliance on medication,
many patients describe
a high degree of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
described earlier stated
that 87% of patients reported being satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal showed that
chiropractic care was associated
with significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
provide effective
treatment, but it also advances a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
