The Toronto 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, Improve Quality of Life

Chiropractic care is hands-on treatment appreciated by clients for its non-pharmacologic and non-surgical foundation. In a healthcare system that is structured for the inclusion of non-pharmacologic treatment modalities incorporating chiropractic – the Veteran’s Healthcare Administration – usual medical care plus chiropractic care for patients with low back pain was found 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 used chiropractic care were at significantly lower risk – 56% lower – of filling an opioid prescription. (2) Since 2011, a new role to deal with spine-related pain, back pain, radiculopathy, etc., was offered, the Primary Spine Practitioner. Integrating such care into the healthcare system is intended to improve effectiveness and value of care because high costs and poor outcomes are common in spine care. (3) Your Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 want for you! Your Toronto chiropractor is your hands-on spine pain practitioner!

Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre presents a new study highlighting the benefit of adding at-home exercise to in-office treatment for neck pain relief.

Toronto 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 important. In dealing with back pain or neck pain, combining treatment at the office with exercise at home is beneficial. The recent 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 improved as did their neck disability and pain intensity. (4) Toronto back pain and neck pain patients find additional benefit when they are active in their care.
