The Value of New Roads Healthy Living

Healthy living. How do you describe that? Do you embody it? Do you know what behaviors are healthy? New Roads Chiropractic Center is all about healthy living. New Roads Chiropractic Center sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! New Roads chiropractic patients can expect their New Roads chiropractor to be an escort to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist them cope with current spine pain issues but also ward off future bouts 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 new study proved that men who abided by more of these healthy choices had lower possibility of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional advantageous healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors are shown to reduce the risk of having long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Taking part in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program enhances the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Utilizing a lumbar support belt increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground.  This may be particularly helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unsteady. (4) New Roads Chiropractic Center works with our New Roads back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CARE CHOICE

Choice of care for health care issues leads to 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 results in a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief reports that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and credentials of the doctor influenced their choice.
