As your La Grande chiropractor, I
have personally
seen the positive
influence that various
types of patients can experience from
chiropractic care. From those struggling with back pain to office
workers managing
the effects of
prolonged sitting, and even
athletes wanting to get
back to their sport and/or enhance
their performance,
chiropractic treatment can
provide
lots benefits.
In this blog, check out
these three interesting
reasons why you should
contemplate seeing a
chiropractor at
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC for your La Grande back pain and other
musculoskeletal
conditions.
CHIROPRACTORS DECREASE BACK
PAIN
One of the top reasons people
look for
La Grande chiropractic care is to
address back pain.
According to a national cross-sectional survey
published in Chiropractic
& Manual
Therapies, 62% of patients said they chose
chiropractic care for back pain.
Additionally, a systematic
review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled
trials reported
that spinal manipulative therapy (a
common technique used by
chiropractors) was effective in
reducing chronic low
back pain for 92% and
boosting mobility for 80% compared to
other treatments or no treatment at
all. (1) This evidence indicates
that undergoing chiropractic
care
can give relief for those hurting
with back
pain.
Bonus: Our La Grande
chiropractic practice includes
use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management that has over 55 years
of published clinical experience,
biomechanical research, and funded
research (NIH, HRSA) performed with well-known
research facilities like Hines VA, Loyola Stritch
School of Medicine, Palmer,
National University of Health Sciences, Auburn,
etc. Check

research papers online!
CHIROPRACTIC REDUCES RELIANCE ON OPIOID PAIN
MEDICATIONS
In recent years, there has
been expanded
concern about the overuse and
potential harm of
opioid pain medications. Then again,
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 received
chiropractic care were less likely to take
prescription opioids compared to those who
did not get
chiropractic care. (2) This is an important finding, as it highlights
the potential role of chiropractors
like yours at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
in positively addressing the
opioid epidemic.
CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH
CARE
In addition to
lowering
pain and dependence on medication,
many patients report
high levels of satisfaction
with their chiropractic care.
The same national cross-sectional survey
described earlier found
that 87% of patients reported that
they were satisfied or very
satisfied with their general
experience of chiropractic care.
Another study published in the
British Medical Journal showed that
chiropractic care was associated
with significantly higher
satisfaction scores compared to usual medical care
for low back pain. (3) This suggests
that not only does chiropractic care
give effective
treatment, but it also promotes a
positive patient experience. Bonus:
Our Cox® Technic care has
detailed patient satisfaction in
case reports and clinical studies!
