Healthy News from Your Georgetown Chiropractor February 2018
Georgetown back pain patients are vital to our Georgetown chiropractic practice. Our Georgetown chiropractic patients’ thoughts and expectations play a role in the care you obtain and the clinical outcome from that Georgetown chiropractic care you realize. Research documents that users of mind/body practices (like acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, massage, yoga in this report) deem that these practices treat, prevent and are more efficient than other choices like drugs. (1) It is valuable for all caregivers to understand what their patients are thinking, believe and want. Please tell us! What does a Georgetown low back pain patient expect from a physician? 90% expected an exam, tests, diagnosis, reassurance, advice, clear reason for their pain, symptom management, and the benefits/risks of treatment. About 50% hoped to be sent to a specialist. About 60% wanted to discuss life problems. (2) Does that sound like what you want? Dr. Butwell is open to lending an ear to you, talking, examining, diagnosing and treating you for Georgetown back pain relief.
Listen to this PODCAST from the Back Doctors' Podcast series of a patient who expected relief without a back surgery and got it with Cox® Technic.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate’s reputation for helping prevent and even potentially regenerate disc cartilage spreads. Its anti-inflammatory reputation and effect on osteoarthritis do, too. (Dr. Butwell appreciates seeing the literature reveal this as Dr. Butwell has shared chondroitin sulfate with our Georgetown chiropractic patients for years!) It’s being offered as a slow-acting agent in the care of low back pain associated with osteoarthritis. (3) It hinders the actions of inflammatory agents connected to conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. (4, 5) Chondroitin sulfate usage in the treatment of low back pain grows. Let us talk about its place in your own Georgetown chiropractic treatment plan for Georgetown back pain relief.
