Living life as you want is all
Sandy Springs folks want, right? Back pain interrupts
that longing for 80% of Sandy Springs people at some
point in our lives. Subject to whom the
Sandy Springs back pain sufferer visits first,
back surgery with or without fusion may be recommended.
Cross Chiropractic Center is poised to help manage and shorten
that interruption with its Sandy Springs chiropractic
treatment plan.
THE FIRST DOCTOR SEEN INFLUENCES THE CARE ROUTE
Choice affects the route
and cost of Sandy Springs back pain care. The price
of chiropractic care for the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation
patients accounts for just 2% of total money spent on back pain. A trial
of conservative non-operative care is counseled
prior to surgery for patients with lumbar disc
herniation. (1) Approximately 42.7% of workers who
first saw a surgeon had surgery in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a
chiropractor originally. (2)
MULTIDISCIPLINARY OVERVIEW COMMITTEES REDUCE SURGERY
First-time disc surgeries reduced by approximately
two thirds for patients cared for in a multidisciplinary
facility. (3) When cases of patients suggested for a fusion
back surgery were reviewed by a multidisciplinary
committee, non-surgical care was endorsed for
just 58%. The fusion surgical approach endorsed
for 28% of the cases was changed.
(4) Another multidisciplinary overview resulted in changed approaches|was
modified to care for back pain without lumbar spinal fusion.
Exercise, psychological therapy, rehabilitation, spinal manipulation, massage
and acupuncture for chronic low back pain continues to
be well-supported in the spine research. Pain
reduction is greater than functional improvement. (5)
Sandy Springs back pain patients are seeking less
pain, so this is wonderful!
SEEING THE MIND’S ROLE IN BACK PAIN
In handling Sandy Springs
back pain, care givers – including surgeons – are recognizing the role the mind plays in
the care of chronic pain patients who have many
contributing factors. Their pain is not as easy as stating that he or she has a disc herniation. Several
factors contribute to pain and difficulty
in defeating that pain. The body and mind react
via the sympathetic nervous system. Doctors who can recognize and
help enable a patient to see
a good response to care, to imagine a
reduction of symptoms rather than concentrate on
them may assist in improving back pain patients’ viewpoint
and future. (6) Cross Chiropractic Center understands that dealing
with pain, particularly pain that has been around
for some time that other care hasn’t seemed to help,
is disheartening. Cross Chiropractic Center
also has been a part of turning around such
pain for patients. Cross Chiropractic Center explains the source
of pain, the plan to improve, control and/or resolve the pain,
and the hope to escape future pain. Cross Chiropractic Center
helps Sandy Springs back pain patients with its Sandy Springs chiropractic treatment plan by
