McHenry Chiropractics Time is Now
Now is the time for chiropractic! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is excited to offer chiropractic services in McHenry and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the foremost medical journals, presented a series of pieces on the disappointing state that healthcare systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is a huge problem the world over and getting worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low back” if its providers adhere guidelines (like your chiropractor strives to do!) to not order excessive x-rays, stick to evidence-based care clinical practice guidelines, and keep up-to-date of the most recent research (and even taking part in research when able!). Chiropractic is recognized for its reputation in treating back pain. A place for it needs to be made in mainstream healthcare to help more back pain and neck pain sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of Chiropractic is creating27 toolkits for chiropractors to participate more with public health communities and be of greater benefit to patients and communities within the health system as respected partners for their health and well-being. (2) Your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic appreciates this sponsorship and foreshight from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this McHenry chiropractic practice of OrthoIllinois Chiropractic strives to do here in McHenry.
Listen in to this PODCAST with Dr. Christophe Dean on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he integrates Cox® Technic into his McHenry patient care to help decrease back pain.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic may benefit from wearing a lumbar back belt. New research shows that a lumbar support belt does not inevitably result in muscle weakness but rather increases walking distance ability for spinal stenosis patients with intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain, decreases use of pain medications, and improves muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) All good! Your chiropractor carefully offers when and if to recommend back braces for each individual McHenry back pain patient as he or she gets better with McHenry chiropractic care, knowing the benefits back braces may give along the way.
