Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Works to Deliver Back Pain Relief Goals You Want
Results. Pain Relief. That is what our La Grande back pain and neck pain patients want from our La Grande chiropractic care. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC realizes this and delivers this with reasonable expectations lining up with what our spine pain patients want. Relief is possible. We’ll talk about how, how much, and when.
PATIENT INPUT REGARDING WHAT RELIEF MEANS
Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC always puts our back pain and neck pain patients at the center of care. We pay attention to what our La Grande chiropractic patients want to do that they can’t do presently. It makes sense to place such a goal/goals at the center of care! A review of 12 studies regarding the non-surgical care of chronic low back pain indicates that patient-led goal setting is important in and of itself 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’s why we ask our La Grande back pain and neck pain sufferers what they want to do that they miss doing now. The one thing - or several things – our patients want to do motivate all of us1!
SURGICAL OR NON-SURGICAL
Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC purposely wants to establish realistic expectations that motivate us all. Many La Grande back pain sufferers deliberate 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 possibilities: (A) evidence that immune/auto-immunity may play a role in spontaneous resolution of a lumbar disc herniation, (B) recorded long-term complications of lumbar spine fusion (adjacent segment disease, implant failure, etc.), (C) systemic and local reactions to metal instrumentation, (D) unclear parameters as to when and for what issues spinal implant removal is warranted, and (E) postoperative lumbar spinal stiffness. (2) With these concerns in mind, let’s look at 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 impact the outcomes. (3) At Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, our Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management is documented to be beneficial for a range of patient conditions.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP WITH RELIEF…AND IN WHAT TIMEFRAME
La Grande 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 delivered in the gentlest manner in a variety of doctor-controlled situations that are comfortable for the patient. Exercise and nutrition round out 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 eliminating reactive oxygen species!
