The Value of Elgin Healthy Living

Healthy living. How do you describe that? Do you embrace it? Do you know what behaviors are healthy? Connected Chiropractic is all for healthy living. Connected Chiropractic sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Elgin chiropractic patients can expect their Elgin chiropractor to be a guide to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them deal with exisiting spine pain issues but also ward off future bouts of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best avoided.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, don’t they? A new study proved that men who abided by more of these healthy choices had decreased risk of long duration low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Consuming fruit and vegetables is an additional favorable healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors appeared to lessen the possibility of developing long term disturbing low back pain in women and even potentially improve 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 belt increases postural control when standing on unlevel ground.  This may be especially welcomed by34 patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unstable. (4) Connected Chiropractic works with our Elgin back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CHOICE OF CARE

Choice of care for health care issues encourages 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 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 found that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, geographical proximity, and credentials of the doctor motivated their choice.
