Healthy living. How do you define
that? Do you embrace it? What are healthy living behaviors? Soft Health and Healing Clinic is all for
healthy living. Soft Health and Healing Clinic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Brooks chiropractic patients can expect
their Brooks chiropractor to be a guide to the
healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope
with current spine pain issues but also ward off
future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other
health issues that are best prevented.
HEALTHY BEHAVIORS
What are some healthy behaviors? A good
diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those sound
about right, do they not? A recent
study showed that men who took advantage of
more of these healthy choices had lower possibility
of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming
fruit and vegetables is another positive
healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to decrease the chance
of having long term troubling low
back pain in women and even potentially better
the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a
community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances
the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing
a lumbar support orthosis improves postural control
when standing on unstable ground. This may be particularly
welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they
are predisposed to be more unsteady. (4) Soft Health and Healing Clinic works with our Brooks back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.
CHOICE OF CARE
Choice of care for health care
issues generates more healthy behaviors. When
patients are able to choose their provider for back
pain or neck pain relief (in one study: physical therapy care), costs were lower
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 shows that their familiarity with
the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, geographical
proximity, and credentials of
the doctor motivated
their choice. (6)
