YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
A positive mindset, good
self-care, and pain-lessening treatment is a valuable
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic blends
them all! A study that observed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who maintained
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still participate in activities regardless of
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as the worst ever from which they’d not
get over reduced their recovery outcome. Understanding
these issues, researchers and your Toronto chiropractor
get that realistic expectations must be discussed and
appreciated for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
thoroughly to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to manage issues as we advance toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and disclose 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 positive improvement. More
good news emanates from a scoping review of papers about
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are modifiable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That’s where we
work together to maintain your positivity and confidence and create a solid
Toronto chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A recent study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond hearing. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more susceptible
to a increased risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day period.
This is often related to 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 Toronto back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
