Dr. Butwell Works to Deliver Back Pain Relief Goals You Want
Results. Pain Relief. That’s what our Georgetown back pain and neck pain patients desire from our Georgetown chiropractic care. Dr. Butwell gets this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients desire. Relief is possible. We will talk about how, how much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Dr. Butwell always puts our back pain and neck pain patients at the core of care. We pay attention to what our Georgetown chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t do now. It makes sense to place such a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies about the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain explains that patient-led goal setting is effective alone as a treatment element to getting desired back pain relief. (1) This is welcome news to the millions of annual chronic low back pain sufferers. They can contribute to their own relief! That is why we question our Georgetown back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do that they can’t do now. The one thing - or several things – our patients want to do are motivating for us both1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Dr. Butwell purposely wants to establish realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many Georgetown back pain sufferers question if surgery is better/quicker than non-surgical, chiropractic spinal manipulative care. A recent article offers a few ideas on surgery for lumbar disc herniation due to pre- and post-surgery considerations: (A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) documented long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) ambiguous parameters as to when and for what conditions spinal implant removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s consider another report that focuses on the immediate beneficial effects of spinal mobilization for low back pain sufferers: decreased muscle stiffness, elasticity, and tone. Admittedly, baseline stiffness, BMI, waist circumference and sex may influence the outcomes. (3) At Dr. Butwell, our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management is shown beneficial for a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
Georgetown chiropractic care of back and neck pain addresses a multitude of spinal conditions in patients of all sizes and shapes. Published studies about Cox® Technic measured how spinal stiffness may play a role in positive outcomes. Spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic may be applied in the gentlest manner in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable for the patient. Exercise and nutrition complement the treatment plan. (For wine lovers, new nutritional research reported on the benefits of reservatrol and its anti-oxidant effects in slowing the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration at the mitochondrial cell level by getting rid of reactive oxygen species! (4)) Dr. Butwell has a way to help our patients get what they want: results.
