YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
An upbeat mindset, sound
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a valuable
mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic combines
them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who continued with
their pain relief and stated an improved quality of
life were also highly certain that they could
still perform activities despite
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they would not
get over lessened their recovery outcome. Understanding
these factors, researchers and your Manchester chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like poor sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be managed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to manage issues as we move toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and share the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is good improvement. Additional
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that mentioned how many issues
are adjustable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
act together to maintain your positivity and confidence and form a solid
Manchester chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Consider Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study compared those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers questioned if
chronic otitis media inflammation impacted the body beyond its
ability to hear. They discovered that those with
chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a increased risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study reported
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on rapidly over a 72-hour period.
This is often associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any enduring hearing loss. (4,5)
We realize inflammation is an enemy in dealing
with Manchester back pain and neck pain, and it is apparently an enemy
of ear pain and increased hip fracture risk, too! Pay
attention to hearing issues and inflammation as they occur.
