Chiropractic Reduces Health Care Costs

Recent data suggests that expanding insurance coverage of alternative therapies like chiropractic could drive down overall health-care costs. A new study, published in the January 2013 issue of Health Affairs, provides further information into expenditure patterns and utilization of complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Since chiropractic is the predominant source of CAM utilization, the study sheds light on how chiropractic can contribute to patient savings. According to the study , between 2002 and 2008 the use and spending on CAM services, which had previously been rising, largely plateaued. This suggests that “Any attempt to reduce national health care spending by eliminating coverage for complementary...Read More

Pregnant women find back-pain relief with...

Many women experience lower back pain while pregnant. In fact, studies show that more than half of pregnant women report back pain at some point during their pregnancy. A recent study found that for many women, pregnancy is the first time they have experienced back pain. The authors state, “The incidence of low back pain with an onset during pregnancy has been reported to be 61%. It has been shown that among women with low back pain of pregnancy, 75% reported no low back pain before pregnancy. In a study of women with chronic low back pain, up to 28% stated that their first episode of back pain occurred during a pregnancy.” Chiropractic treatments may be beneficial for women who experience back pain during pregnancy....Read More

What causes radiating pain?

Radicular pain, or radiating pain, is caused by interference or pinching of the spinal nerves. This results in pain, tingling, or numbness in parts of your body far from the actual source of the problem. If your spine is injured, there are a number of things that can affect the nerves and cause pain. Injured ligaments and muscles can cause inflammation of the nerve root, which can disrupt the function of the nerve. If a spinal disk is damaged, it can cause the disk to bulge or herniate, pinching the nerve. And if the spinal joints begin to calcify, it can cause spinal stenosis, or a narrowing of the canal that the spinal nerves pass through. All this can lead to a number of conditions such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome,...Read More

Spinal Adjustments Relieve Muscle Pain Instantly

Your myofascial tissues are what enclose and separate the layers of muscle in your body. Chronic myofascial pain is a common pain condition, and its prevalence is growing. Among middle-aged people, myofascial pain affects around 37% of men and 65% of women, but among the elderly, those numbers jump to 85% for the combined gender groups. Because the elderly population is expected to double before 2040, chronic myofascial pain is likely going to be a major challenge for health-care into the future. Chiropractors have long used spinal adjustments as a means to manage musculoskeletal disorders and pain, including chronic myofascial pain. Many report the benefits among their patients receiving spinal therapy. But how and why does...Read More
