Instead of opioids, Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic is beneficial for chronic pain management and relief. 

Chronic Pain: Opioids? Use Chiropractic Instead.

Ashburn and Herndon chronic pain is rampant. Ashburn and Herndon opioid use is widespread. What is an effective option? Chiropractic with Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. Why? Opioids were acclaimed as a pill solution for chronic pain…costs climbed, risks rose. Options and co-treatment approaches are demanded. In a research investigation of 62,000 patients in 6 studies of chiropractic utilization and opioid prescribing, usage of chiropractic care fluctuated from 11.3% to 51.3%. Patients who visited a chiropractor for their musculoskeletal pain issue were 49% less liable to receive a prescription for an opioid than those who went to different healthcare providers. (1) Patients using routine chiropractic care to cope with their chronic low-back and neck pain told researchers that their pain would be greater without such chiropractic care. Additionally, they are willing to pay for care to keep their mild pain levels. The “willingness to pay” cost varies from $37.32 to $45.98. (2) Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn value their chiropractic care! Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic services benefit chronic pain along with or without opioids.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how chronic back pain treatment without opioids utilizing the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management allowed a patient to “forget” to come see him for a year as his pain was absent!

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers spinal manipulation to athletes of all types – recreational and professional – to enhance their efforts.

Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Spinal Manipulation Before Sports

Ashburn and Herndon athletes – recreational and professional – want that edge when they do their activity. Spinal manipulation could be just that! Elite Taekwondo athletes felt increased muscle strength and corticospinal excitability to ankle plantar flexor muscles after just one spinal manipulation. The improved force of the maximum voluntary contraction of the plantar flexors lasted for 30 minutes and the corticospinal excitability increase went on for not less than 60 minutes. (3) Virginia Tech football players – offensive and defensive - felt increased performances in 2 football seasons during which they obtained spinal manipulation treatments before games. (4) A recent report shared that a single pre-exercise SMT brought about a heightened shift toward parasympathetic (the part of the autonomic nervous system in charge of regulating the body's unconscious actions) dominance and marginally diminished performance in recreational healthy athletes. (5) Time to try spinal manipulation for yourself! See if it enhances your edge. Let us talk at your next Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic appointment.
