January 2025 Healthy News from Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All
CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is growing rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to growing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences by Newell et al in J Patient Exp highlighted how much people value chiropractic care, with many reporting better quality of life and a decreased need for opioids—a huge win considering the focus on trying to fix the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are evolving as a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) shows that more veterans are coming to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This exposes a bigger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to tackling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the key role chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only reflects a beneficial change in how chiropractic care is seen but also opens up opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare systems, benefiting a wide range of patients. Nice news! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
POST-BACK SURGERY PAIN? EXERCISE AND CHIROPRACTIC HELP!
Exercise and Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation can significantly help back surgery patients going through recovery. New research in a 2024 systematic review published in The American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation features how exercise helps reduce pain and improve functional mobility after lumbar disc herniation surgery. (3) Correspondingly, the Cox Technic has been shown to be useful in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in 11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, published in a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4) Together, these approaches elevate recovery and quality of life, offering hope to those finding their way through post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to refurbishing spine health while minimizing discomfort. So good! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic welcomes post-back surgery patients seeking additional healing and relief.
