Q&A: Is there a treatment for constant muscle pain?
Yes there is. It is identifying the root of the cause and then constructing a plan to fix it. Most treatment plans will use a combination of therapies such as #graston, #myofacial work, exercise, and spinal treatment. Lifestyle changes are great way to keep the pain away.

Q&A
1. Why does chiropractic cause a popping sound in the back or neck area?
A: injured joints or stiff backs tend to increase pressure in the spine and joints. This pressure causes pain and discomfort. An adjustment moves the water through the joint causing the sound you hear. It is safe and allow the pressure to decrease in a natural way.

Self-Care Advice Necessary for LBP
Problem: A new study of manual therapists treating LBP concluded:
Self-management is an important topic for people with LBP.
Providing information and advice should cover a broad range of important factors, including biomechanical factors.
The majority of providers had a need of having more knowledge, skills, and tools aimed at facilitating self-management.
The way therapists address self-management in people with non-specific LBP is not optimal and should be improved.
We help each individual in an appropriate time. No skipping self care therapies.
Have a great week!

Consulting Conservative Therapists Lowers Opioid Use
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation:
"Compared to patients with neck pain who saw a primary health care provider, patients with neck pain who initially saw a conservative therapist were 72%-91% less likely to fill an opioid prescription in the first 30 days, and between 41%-87% less likely to continue filling prescriptions for 1 year."
Research has established similar conclusions for patients with LBP. Check out the ChiroUp Opioid Crisis Synopsis for details.

Conservative Care Rivals Surgery for Disc Herniation
A systematic review of athletes with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation compared surgical vs. non-surgical outcomes and concluded:
"There was no significant difference in return-to-play rate between athletes treated with operative or nonoperative management of LDHs, nor did operative management have a faster time to return-to-play. Athletes should consider the lack of difference in return-to-play rate in addition to the potential risks associated with spinal surgery when choosing a treatment option."
