Chiropractic for Richmond Back Surgery Prevention and Pain Relief
Living life as you want is all Richmond folks want, right? Back pain disrupts that want for 80% of Richmond people at some point in life. Subject to whom the Richmond back pain sufferer visits first, back surgery with or without fusion may be recommended. Johnson Chiropractic is poised to help manage and shorten that interruption with its Richmond chiropractic treatment plan.
THE FIRST DOCTOR SEEN INFLUENCES THE CARE ROUTE
Choice influences the route and cost of Richmond back pain care. The cost of chiropractic care for the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation patients accounts for just 2% of total money spent on back pain. A test of conservative non-operative care is recommended before surgery for patients who have lumbar disc herniation. (1) Approximately 42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon had surgery in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor originally. (2)
MULTIDISCIPLINARY OVERVIEW COMMITTEES REDUCE SURGERY
First-time disc surgeries decreased by about two thirds for patients treated in a multidisciplinary facility. (3) When cases of patients suggested for a fusion back surgery were reviewed by a multidisciplinary committee, non-surgical care was recommended for just 58%. The fusion surgical approach endorsed for 28% of the cases was changed. (4) Another multidisciplinary overview resulted in changed approaches|was modified to care for back pain without lumbar spinal fusion. Exercise, psychological therapy, rehabilitation, spinal manipulation, massage and acupuncture for chronic low back pain continues to be backed in the spine research. Pain reduction is superior than functional improvement. (5) Richmond back pain patients are wanting pain reduction, so this is great!
SEEING THE MIND’S ROLE IN BACK PAIN
In handling Richmond back pain, care givers – including surgeons – are seeing the role the mind has in the care of chronic pain patients who have multiple contributing factors. Their pain is not as easy as explaining that he or she has a disc herniation. Numerous factors come together to cause pain and difficulty in defeating that pain. The body and mind respond via the sympathetic nervous system. Doctors who can see and help empower a patient to see a good response to care, to visualize a reduction of symptoms rather than concentrate on them may assist in improving back pain patients’ attitude and future. (6) Johnson Chiropractic recognizes that dealing with pain, especially pain that has been around a while that other care hasn’t seemed to help, is disheartening. Johnson Chiropractic also has been a part of turning around such pain for patients. Johnson Chiropractic shares the source of pain, the plan to relieve, control and/or resolve the pain, and the hope to avoid future pain. Johnson Chiropractic helps Richmond back pain patients with its Richmond chiropractic treatment plan by the Cox Technic system of spine pain management.
