CHRONIC BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH CHIROPRACTIC
Chronic back pain sends many sufferers to doctors’
offices for help. Chronic back pain’s impact
on the sufferer and his/her “default mode network” of living often has
something to do the years lived with pain: the longer the pain period,
the more influence the pain has on the patient and his/her
cognitive pain coping attitude. (1) Not shocking, but it’s
now published and will likely
be studied more. It’s also known that lumbar
spinal stenosis patients vary in their symptom severity and improvement
track from “improving” to “fluctuating/improving” to “persistent.” (2)
Back pain is really a unique journey, one your
chiropractor travels by your side as chiropractic care’s
spinal manipulation is high on clinical practice guidelines’ lists
of noninvasive, non-drug pain therapies. (3) As a matter of
published fact, non-surgical, conservative care choices lead
treatment recommendations lists. Spinal manipulation, chiropractic’s forte, is
a leading recommendation in many treatment recommendation records
by groups like the American College of Physicians and the American Pain
Society. (4) Using chiropractic care and such approaches as mindfulness
- which has been shown to improve pain-related functions - may be most helpful for you. (5)

La Grande CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Consider Peppermint
Oil: A Relaxing Boost!
We all need a boost occasionally. The past few stressful years
are catching up with us. Whether you’re tired or healing,
peppermint may add some pep into your system. A recent
study described how inhalation of peppermint post-back-surgery
lowered patients’ anxiety and pain levels. (6) Another
study detailed how peppermint oil inhalation lowered
cardiac surgery patients’ post-op nausea. (7) Adding peppermint oil to a
footbath for adolescents with primary headache disorder found that
both the control and participant groups had a significant decrease
in headache pain and decrease in anxiety over time with no adverse events.
95.6% of the participants liked and recommended this! (8) Craving some relaxation? Peppermint oil may be a
helper!
