 Murfreesboro back pain patients’ roads to recovery depend on pain reducing treatment, self-care, and positive mindset.

YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG

A positive mindset, sound self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial mix for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mixes them all! A study that tracked 740 chronic low back pain patients for a year recorded that those who maintained their pain relief and described an improved quality of life were also highly self-assured that they could still perform activities regardless of their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their pain as the worst ever from which they would not get over lessened their recovery outcome. Understanding these issues, researchers and your Murfreesboro 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 difficult sleep, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen carefully 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 share the 50% Rule of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that sets 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. Additional 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 Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he shares what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

Most Chiropractic Clinic recognizes inflammation’s role in pain and presents how it may be a link between otitis media ear infection and increased hip fracture risk. Interesting research! 

Murfreesboro 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 hearing. They found that those with chronic otitis media who had a history of hearing loss are more susceptible to a greater risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked to a higher risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day 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 lasting hearing loss. (4,5) We know inflammation is an enemy when managing Murfreesboro 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 arise. We're here to help with chiropractic services! Most Chiropractic Clinic and you make a great team.
