As your Toronto chiropractor, I
have seen firsthand the positive
influence that various
types of patients can experience from
chiropractic care. From those dealing
with back pain to office
workers managing
the consequences of
extended sitting, and even
athletes wanting to get
back to their sport and/or improve
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
lots benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three compelling
reasons why you may want to
contemplate seeing a
chiropractor at
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre for your Toronto back pain and other
musculoskeletal
issues.
CHIROPRACTORS REDUCE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
seek out
Toronto chiropractic care is to
manage back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
available in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients reported
seeking
chiropractic care for back pain.
Furthermore, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique utilized by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
boosting mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment what so ever. (1) This evidence suggests
that seeing a chiropractor
can provide relief for those suffering from back
pain.
Bonus: Our Toronto
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of documented clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) behind
it with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. See
the full list of case reports and
research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
Recently, there has
been growing
concern about the overuse and
possible harm of
opioid pain medications. However,
research has demonstrated
that chiropractic care may be an effective
alternative for managing
musculoskeletal pain without
relying on these powerful
drugs. A retrospective observational study
published in Chiropractic &
Manual Therapies found
that older Medicare beneficiaries with
spinal pain who underwent
chiropractic care were less likely to use
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is an important finding, as it highlights
the possible role of chiropractors
like yours at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
in positively dealing with the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
Besides
decreasing
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients describe
a high degree of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
mentioned earlier found
that 87% of patients reported that
they were satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study distributed in the
British Medical Journal demonstrated that
chiropractic care was related to significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This implies
that not only does chiropractic care
provide effective
treatment, but it also promotes a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
documented patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
