January 2025 Healthy News from Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All


CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!

Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient encounters by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people value chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and a reduced need for opioids—a huge win given the focus on addressing the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) demonstrated that more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for successful, non-invasive solutions to contain chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This exposes a larger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to handling common issues like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the important role chiropractic care plays in expanding access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only reflects a beneficial change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also presents opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, benefiting a wide range of patients. Great news! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is ready to welcome patients to the practice!

TIP OF THE MONTH: POST-BACK SURGERY PAIN? EXERCISE AND CHIROPRACTIC HELP!

Exercise and Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation can significantly benefit back surgery patients going through recovery. New research in a 2024 systematic review published in The American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation highlights that exercise assists in reducing pain and improving functional mobility after lumbar disc herniation surgery. (3) Similarly, the Cox Technic has been demonstrated effective in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in 11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, shared in a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4) Together, these approaches boost recovery and quality of life, presenting hope to those plotting a course for them through post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to restoring spine health while minimizing discomfort. So wonderful! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office welcomes post-back surgery patients seeking more healing and relief.
