February 2022 Healthy News from Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic You and Your Spine Pain Practitioner Work Together with Manipulation & Exercise

The Montreal spine pain practitioner leads treatment toward back and neck pain relief in an organized, collaborative fashion.

YOUR CHIROPRACTIC SPINE PAIN PRACTITIONER: Reduce Pain, Reduce Opioid Prescription Fills, Enhance Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on care valued by many for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is organized for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was reported as beneficial. There was a significant difference in the results of usual medical care versus usual medical care plus chiropractic care in better quality of life scoring as well as pain-related disability with chiropractic care. (1) In the Medicare system, older beneficiaries with spinal pain who utilized chiropractic care were at significantly reduced risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a novel role to manage spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was proposed, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is intended to enhance effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care. (3) Your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows the spine, the conservative care of its pain, and the value of collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to get you the pain relief we all desire for you! Your Montreal chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Borzone on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes relieving treatment of back pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that prompted a patient to lessen her intake of pain medication as she felt less and less pain.

Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic shares a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: ADD AT-HOME EXERCISE

Combining efforts, be it between your healthcare providers or between your at-home care and your in-office treatment, is beneficial. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, mixing treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The latest report of such a combination found that four 20-minute sessions of manual therapy and exercise plus an at-home exercise program was more effective than without manual therapy for neck pain sufferers. The patients’ range of motion got better as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Montreal back pain and neck pain patients report additional benefit when they are active in their care.
