The New York City chiropractic care provides spinal manipulation which research is describing as beneficial for pain relief, better quality of life, and reduced risk of prescription medication use and excess testing. 

SPINAL MANIPULATION: A Beneficial Choice for Relief of Back Pain, Better Quality of Life, Reduced Risk of Tests and Prescriptions

Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is a choice for treatment of back pain, a choice not all back pain patients know about but may want to be. In a review of 83,025 insurance back pain claims, 28% of the claimants underwent treatment with SMT. Of them, 24% received SMT initially, 4% delayed using SMT, and 72% did not undergo SMT at all. Treating initial back pain episodes with spinal manipulation reduced the risk of imaging studies, injection procedures, and/or back surgery by nearly 30% compared with not receiving spinal manipulation treatment. Delayed SMT also raised the risk for these procedures. (1) A review of older Medicare chronic low back pain sufferers who underwent long-term care with SMT revealed that they reported higher health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care than those who underwent long-term care with prescription drug therapy. (2) Older Medicare chronic low back pain patients who initially chose opioid analgesic therapy reported a higher rate of adverse drug events than the patients who chose SMT care. (3) Spinal manipulation is our forte! Delivering gentle, research-supported spinal manipulation in the form of gentle, well-investigated Cox® Technic is our choice. Come experience it!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. James Cox on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he details the most recent spine research regarding the most advantageous way to treat spine, back, and neck pain with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management mixed with a presentation of the past influences on the present delivery and path for the future direction of research and delivery of SMT.

New York City CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

MANAGE OSTEOPOROSIS: Risk, Falls, Care

Osteoporosis-related falls are prevalent as osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases. A review of two studies of older men and women with osteoporosis counted their falls. Overall, falls within 4 months were found to be signs of higher risk for non-spine and hip fracture in the next year. For women, a recent fall signaled an 8.1% absolute risk of non-spine fracture in 12 months, a 2.5 times greater risk than women who hadn’t had falls, a 2.5% absolute risk of hip fracture, and a 3.1 times increased fall risk. (4) Falls aren’t good. Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to help you avoid falls and osteoporosis-related fractures. We can discuss addressing options like nutrition (calcium and vitamin D supplementation, etc.), gut microbiota balance, and exercise within the New York City chiropractic treatment plan for osteoporosis management. (5,6) Researchers observed that patients understood the benefit of non-pharmacological management of osteoporosis including exercise, nutrition, and fall prevention but confessed that they found it hard integrating these approaches into daily life. (6) Is that you? We’re here to help! Let’s talk about osteoporosis and fall risk at your next visit!
