Healthy living. How do you describe
that? Do you live it? Do
you know what behaviors are healthy? Johnson Chiropractic is all about
healthy living. Johnson Chiropractic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Richmond chiropractic patients can trust
their Richmond chiropractor to be a guide to the
healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope
with exisiting spine pain issues but also avent
future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other
health issues that are best avoided.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good
diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those sound
about right, don’t they? A new
study described that men who took advantage of
more of these healthy choices had lower risk
of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating
fruit and vegetables is an additional positive
healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to reduce the chance
of developing long term disturbing low
back pain in women and even potentially improve
the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Taking part in a
community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves
the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing
a lumbar support orthosis increases postural control
when standing on unlevel ground. This may be particularly
helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they
are predisposed to be more unstable. (4) Johnson Chiropractic works with our Richmond back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CARE CHOICE
Choice of care for health care
issues encourages more healthy behaviors. When
patients are given the opportunity to choose their provider for back
pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were less
than if they went to their medical doctor first and were
referred. Direct access makes a difference in costs and
outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain
relief found that their familiarity with
the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications prompted
their choice. (6)
