The Value of Malverne Healthy Living

Healthy living. How do you define that? Do you live it? What are healthy living behaviors? Malverne Health & Wellness is all about healthy living. Malverne Health & Wellness sees chiropractic care as a healthy behavior! Malverne chiropractic patients can trust their Malverne chiropractor to be a guide to the healthy lifestyle behaviors that can not only assist 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. Non-smoking. Low/No alcohol intake. Those make sense, do they not? A new study proved that men who took advantage of more of these healthy choices had decreased possibility of long lasting low back pain and women for neck pain. (1) Eating fruit and vegetables is another advantageous healthy behavior. This in addition to the other behaviors are shown to reduce the risk of having long term troubling low back pain in women and even potentially better the prognosis of low back pain relief. (2) Participating in a community based musculoskeletal physiotherapy program improves the health-related quality of life for patients. (3) Using a lumbar support orthosis improves postural control when standing on unstable ground.  This may be particularly helpful for patients with non-specific low back pain as they are predisposed to be more unsteady. (4) Malverne Health & Wellness works with our Malverne back pain patients on their balance and proprioception to help improve their steadiness.

CARE CHOICE

Choice of care for health care issues results in 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 lower 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 shows that their familiarity with the doctor’s treatment, social network recommendations, how close they were to the doctor’s office, and doctor’s qualifications prompted their choice.
