YOUR INFLUENCE ON BACK PAIN RELIEF IS STRONG
A positive mindset, sound
self-care, and pain-reducing treatment is a beneficial
recipe for spine pain relief. Chiropractic mingles
them all! A study that followed 740 chronic low back pain
patients for a year recorded that those who continued with
their pain relief and reported an improved quality of
life were also highly self-assured that they could
still do activities regardless of
their pain. Those who had widespread pain and imagined their
pain as horrible and from which they’d not
get over lessened their recovery outcome. Understanding
these factors, researchers and your San Jose chiropractor
know that realistic expectations must be reviewed and
understood for optimal, satisfactory clinical outcomes. (1) (For
example, 50% relief is good!) Complicating factors like difficult sleep,
fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression may affect healing for
back pain and neck pain sufferers and must be addressed. We listen
carefully to and have discussions with our chiropractic patients
to handle issues as we advance toward pain relief and a
better quality of life. We follow and disclose the 50% Rule of the
Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that establishes
reasonable expectations for chiropractic pain relief: 50% relief within a month
or so of care without any signs of progressive neurological deficits or other
red flags is encouraging improvement. More
good news comes from a scoping review of papers regarding
spine-pain related factors that took note of how many issues
are modifiable: smoking, overweight/obesity, negative expectations
of recovery, work environment, nutrition, etc. (2) That is where we
act together to keep you
positive and confident and create a solid
San Jose chiropractic treatment plan for your pain relief!

with Dr. Robert Patterson on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents
what realistic expectations are for spine pain patients with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
San Jose CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Look to Inflammation: An Ear Infection/Hearing
Loss/Hip Fracture Risk Link
A new study evaluated those with
chronic otitis media to those without. Researchers wondered if
chronic otitis media inflammation affected the body beyond its
ability to hear. They found that those with
chronic otitis media with a history of hearing loss are more prone
to a higher risk of hip fracture. (3) Another study stated
that chronic otitis media was found to be significantly linked
to a greater risk of developing ‘sudden sensorineural hearing
loss’ that comes on suddenly over a 3 day period.
This is commonly associated with dizziness and
ringing in the ears, treated with antibiotics, and accommodated
for with hearing aids or devices for any lasting hearing loss. (4,5)
We know inflammation is an enemy when dealing
with San Jose back pain and neck pain, and it is seemingly an enemy
of ear pain and heightened hip fracture risk, too! Manage hearing issues and inflammation as they arise.
