January 2025 Healthy News from Apple Country Chiropractic Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All


CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!

Chiropractic care is growing rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people appreciate chiropractic care, with many reporting better quality of life and a reduced need for opioids—a huge win considering the focus on addressing the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, assisting with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) shows that more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reflects a bigger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative way to tackling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the important role chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only shows a positive change in how chiropractic care is seen but also opens up opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Great news! Apple Country Chiropractic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!

(3) Correspondingly, the Cox Technic has been demonstrated successful in managing postsurgical low back and radicular pain - for 81% of patients in 11 visits and 49 days - through gentle spinal manipulation, shared in a 2016 study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. (4) Together, these approaches enhance recovery and quality of life, offering hope to those plotting a course for them through post-surgical challenges along a holistic path to restoring spine health while reducing discomfort.
