Healthy News December 2018: Lower Odds of Back Surgery & Depression
McHenry chiropractic patients know that visiting their chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is valuable. Their back pain and neck pain eases. McHenry chiropractic patients feel better when they leave OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. A benefit McHenry chiropractic patients may not necessarily realize because they are chiropractic patients presently is that seeing a chiropractor reduces the odds of back surgery. A new report stated that there is a “very strong association” between back surgery and the first healthcare provider consulted for the back pain injury. 42.7% of workers who consulted a surgeon|first went to a surgeon first had surgery while only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor first had back surgery. (1) Plus, the chiropractic adjustment works wonders on the autonomic nervous system. This link between the autonomic nervous system and the adjustment is noted particularly for a tension-type headache sufferer with major depression whose relief is outlined in a new published paper. (2) For a depressed McHenry back pain patient, any relief from chiropractic care is pleasing!
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 visited him for her back pain and discovered relief with his chiropractic care implementing the Cox® Technic System.

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