Healthy News December 2018: Lower Odds of Back Surgery & Depression
Williamson chiropractic patients understand that seeing their chiropractor at Apple Country Chiropractic is valuable. Their back pain and neck pain gets better. Williamson chiropractic patients feel better when they leave Apple Country Chiropractic. A benefit Williamson chiropractic patients may not necessarily realize since they are chiropractic patients currently is that consulting a chiropractor reduces the odds of back surgery. A new report noted that there is a “very strong association” between back surgery and the first healthcare provider visited for the back pain issue. 42.7% of workers who saw a surgeon|first consulted a surgeon first had surgery while only 1.5% of those who consulted a chiropractor first had back surgery. (1) Furthermore, the chiropractic adjustment works wonders on the autonomic nervous system. This link between the autonomic nervous system and the adjustment is documented particularly for a tension-type headache sufferer with major depression whose relief is described in a new published case report. (2) For a depressed Williamson back pain sufferer, any relief from chiropractic care is most welcome!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kevin Keyes on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about a patient who was considering back surgery when she came to see him for her back pain and found relief with his chiropractic care implementing the Cox® Technic System.

Williamson CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Enjoying the Holiday [Joy|Cheer]33] Helps the Back Pain Sufferer and the Williamson Back Pain!
In developed countries, two of the most common reasons to visit a doctor were for depression/anxiety and back pain. (3) Seeing these two issues together is not unusual at all at Apple Country Chiropractic. Back pain sufferers have a tendency to deal with depression. 20.2% of back pain patients with spondylosis and disc issues among others experience depression and spend more on health care for their conditions. (4) This relationship is even stronger for chronic low back pain sufferers. (5) So this holiday season, Apple Country Chiropractic’s wish for Williamson back pain sufferers is that they notice the happiness and cheer around them. It just may help their back pain, too! That is the goal of Williamson chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic.
