The Value of Baton Rouge Healthy Living

Healthy living. How do you describe that? Do you live it? What are healthy living behaviors? Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation is all about healthy living. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Baton Rouge chiropractic patients can trust their Baton Rouge chiropractor to be a guide to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only help them deal with current spine pain issues but also avent future episodes of spine pain, neck pain, and back pain, and other health issues that are best prevented.

HEALTHY BEHAVIORS

What are some healthy behaviors? A good diet. Exercise. Not smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those sound about right, don’t they? A new study proved that men who abided by more of these healthy choices had lower risk of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is an additional positive healthy behavior. This plus the other behaviors appeared to reduce the risk of having 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 unstable ground.  This may be particularly helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are prone to be more unstable. (4) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation works with our Baton Rouge back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CARE CHOICE

Choice of care for health care issues leads to more healthy behaviors. When patients are given the opportunity 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 makes a difference in costs and outcomes. (5) A study of women and their choices of providers for back pain relief shows that their knowledge of the doctor’s treatment, social network endorsements, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications prompted their choice.
