(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 23, 2011 ) Lakewood, CO -- Colorado Chiropractor, Dr. Ron Spallone is calling for chiropractors in Denver to ban together to make their patients aware that September is National Pain Awareness Month. According to the American Pain Foundation, who actively promotes the cause, 116 million people are affected by pain in the U.S.
Dr. Spallone, a Denver chiropractor reviews hundreds of back pain cases each year. He says that chronic back pain is a big part of those chronic pain statistics, “Chiropractors not only treat chronic back pain, they help people prevent the onset of of painful degeneration and premature physical debilitation through the promotion of an active wellness philosophy.” According to Spallone, chiropractors in Denver who offer spinal decompression are uniquely positioned to be influential because Colorado is annually at the top of the list when measuring the healthiest and most active states in America and spinal decompression is a healthy and proactive choice to treat chronic back and disc pain.
Dr. SpalloneÂ’s chiropractic clinic in Denver offers non-surgical treatment of herniated discs via spinal decompression and class IV laser therapy.
Research published in medical journals has placed the effectiveness of non-surgical spinal disc decompression therapy at 75 to 92 percent with a reoccurrence rate of around 2 percent. “Most of the patients who enter our office have painful conditions associated with bulging or herniated discs. We use the DRX9000 spinal decompression machine coupled with K-Laser therapy to treat these painful conditions without drugs or surgery.” He goes on to say, "If we just made a big dent in helping people with disc related back pain through non-surgical spinal decompression we could make a huge impact on people in chronic pain. Many surgeries can actually be a precipitator of chronic pain due to their inherently aggressive nature and the repair process and recover following back surgery."
Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability in adult Americans. It affects 33% of Americans. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, costs associated with the treatment of pain the U.S.A. reach $100 billion every year in lost workdays and medical and related expenses. Pain that goes unmanaged can invariably wreak havoc on patientsÂ’ relationships and careers, not to mention quality of life.
Spallone finishes by saying, "I really want Denver chiropractors to become the nation's leaders in helping re-establish a healthy norm within our communities. You know, have optimum health be the rule rather than the exception."
