Chiropractic Physicians very frequently deal with patients that have been hurt on the job. They focus on eliminating the cause of the pain and attempting to correct the source of the problem. Chiropractic Physicians know that keeping a patient moving and active is the fastest road to recovery. Total Bed Rest is Totally Bad Advice to be perfectly honest. Doctors of Chiropractic have been able to get their patients back to work faster than other methods, have higher satisfaction rates than other practitioners, love their life work more, and based on the above study - be in the category that produces the least amount of disability one year after beginning treatment.

My Green Backyard

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:36:00 +0000

So this is a look at my backyard. And the Vision that I have for it. Really I have been working on other things on the house up to this point and ... I had a bit of a break - literally - when I broke my leg in December of 2007. But - I believe we DO have power over many things that we are not exercising that influence over - yet. Having a big picture - before - knowing exactly what it will look like before - you know - "having the end in mind" is critical.

It is amazing how many problems I solve while spending a few minutes in the back yard.... because I really do not have very much time. I do not like to watch TV at all...... I tire of it very quickly..... I want to put into my brain the things that I want to have there.

I will post a picture of the new "green" back yard later - it IS a big project - but the benefits will be there for years to come. Those are the things I want to spend time doing...... I have several of those projects going on right now in my life.

The kind of words we need to hear at times when we are down and need to be lifted up by people that care.

A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Medication, Acupuncture, and Spinal Manipulation.

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 19:00:00 +0000

Giles and Muller: Chronic Spinal Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Medication, Acupuncture, and Spinal Manipulation. Spine July 15, 2003; 28(14):1490-1503

Objective: To compare medication, needle acupuncture, and spinal manipulation for managing chronic spinal pain.

Design: RCT, 115 patients, public hospitals multidisciplinary spinal pain unit. Evaluated at 2, 5, and 9 weeks. Manipulation performed by DCs with 18 adjustments or less. Drugs used; Celebrex, Vioxx, paracetamol. Average duration of spine pain was 8.3 years for the manipulation group.

Results: The highest proportion of early (asymptomatic status) recovery was
found for manipulation (27.3%), followed by acupuncture (9.4%) and medication (5%).

Conclusions: The consistency of the results provides evidence that in patients with chronic spinal pain, manipulation, if not contraindicated, results in greater short-term improvement than acupuncture or medication.

Points of interest:

1. It is impossible to reach specific diagnosis for the pathologic cause for 85% of those with an episode of spinal pain.
2. Patients with low back pain do exhibit abnormal spinal motion.
3. There is insufficient evidence for the use of NSAIDs to manage chronic low back pain.
4. The new COX-2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) drugs have problems and significant contraindications.
5. Gastrointestinal toxicity induced by NSAIDs is one of the most common serious adverse drug events in the industrialized world.
6. In this study, in the medication group, more patients experienced adverse events (6.1%) than recovered from their spinal complaints (5%).
7. Even though the chiropractic treatment group was the most chronic (8.3 years), 27.3% recovered with 18 spinal adjustments over a period of 9 weeks, or less. This means that better than every fourth patient became asymptomatic with 9 weeks or less of chiropractic manipulation, even though they had been chronic for more than 8 years.
8. The chiropractic group showed significantly greater improvement in subjective complaints, functional abilities, objective range of spinal motion, and in general health status than acupuncture and medication.
9. In this study, patient involvement in litigation did not influence the outcome measures.
10. In the treatment of chronic spinal pain, chiropractic manipulation is superior to acupuncture and medication.

The Fellow that Blows His Horn The Most Might Be in the Biggest Fog!

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:53:00 +0000

I have been thinking how easy it is to let people know what it is that you do on the web these days. Self promotion is an easy to do thing. And the truth is - if you do not say good things about yourself - it is unlikely that anyone else will either.

Speaking of self promotion - the reason I do it is because I am helpin glots of people when I tell people about what I do.

So, even though I am trying not to catch myself in a fog - I suppose we all find ourselves there at one point or another. Sometimes we just drift along and find ourself daydreaming - not being productive. Thinking of the future - thinking of the past - - it can ALL get a bit foggy!

Speaking of foggy and of the past - does any body remember THIS group?

Do NOT mess with the Moms

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:50:00 +0000

I sure got a chuckle out ot this. The makers of Motrin just did not seem to connect to the Moms in the world with this one. There was such as backlash from this ONLINE ad that it caused Motrin to pull the ad after only four days. You should see the posting on you-tube from the VERY upset Moms. The power of the Mothers in this country is enormous. This just shows how much people at paying attention to the online social media. Are you on Facebook or Myspace or LinkedIn? wow THOUSANDS of people are. Go to my website at http://www.sheelychiro.com/ and join me on those networks. I just started a facebook Business page - yeah - I am a little slow but I am getting there.

Look at just one of the responses below to the Motrin ad - Hey - I want to be on the right side of mothers in America.

And I am all for "baby wearing". We used to just call them a baby sling - but I am catching on. Anyway - I just know this - if the Mother or the baby has any pains - instead of covering them up with pain medication - we think that they would do better with a little care from our office. - No side effects and all natural!!! Keep Smiling!!

Spinal Manipulation in the Treatment of Low-Back Pain. Can. Fam. Physician Vol. 31: March 1985

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:29:00 +0000

Kirkaldy-Willis et al. Spinal Manipulation in the Treatment of Low-Back Pain. Can. Fam. Physician Vol. 31: March 1985

Summary: Spinal manipulation, one of the oldest forms of therapy for back pain, has mostly been practiced outside of the medical profession. Over the past decade, there has been an escalation of clinical and basic science research on manipulative therapy, which has shown that there is a scientific basis for the treatment of back pain by manipulation.

Most family practitioners have neither the time nor inclination to master the art of manipulation and will wish to refer their patients to a skilled practitioner of this therapy. Results of spinal manipulation in 283 patients with low back pain are presented. The physician who makes use of this resource will provide relief for many patients.

Points of Interest:
*80% of the adult population will experience LBP during their adult life.

*At any given time 20-30% of adults suffer from LBP.

*In industry, disorders of the LB account for 4 hours/yr/worker of lost time.

*LBP is second only to upper respiratory infections as cause for absenteeism.

*Patients with LBP represent a major segment of the chronically disabled.

*Estimates for the cost of tx and compensation in US exceed $14 billion annually.

*Less than 10% of LBP is due to herniation or the IVD or entrapment of spinal nerves. Most LBP is mechanical in nature.

*Spinal manipulation is essentially an assisted passive motion applied to the spinal apophyseal and sacroiliac joints.

*Three ranges of motion exist in the spine: active motion, passive motion, and paraphysiological motion.

*Only manipulation spans all three ranges of motion.

*Since 1952 there have been over 50 clinical trials of spinal manipulation for back pain.

The Man with a Burning Dream Gets the Chance.

drrob@sheelychiro.com (Robert B. Sheely, DC, FICC) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:11:00 +0000

This is fast becoming one of my most favorite clips of all time. A man that has had a dream....his whole life.... believing he was born to do a specific thing.... and one day - the opportunity arises... it takes an enormous amount of courage to attempt this - but he is prepared - practicing outright and in his mind for years.

How many of us - have a dream we have not yet acted upon. Is this the time in your life to make the move....? If not - wht not? I have to admit to you - I cry everytime I see this - it does not matter how many times. I am inspired to action after seeing it. How about you? Let me know what you think.

I was sitting out on my deck early in the morning having a cup of coffee while watching an early morning fire in my chiminea. I noticed how quickly the wood burns and how hot it is with small and medium size pieces. Of course, a larger one will burn more slowly and with less heat. I had a thought...

A life lived fast and quickly can be exciting and almost immediately affect those close - but the flash in a pan lifestyle can often only inspire people for short times. And - to maintain that system requires much energy and resources. However, a steady slow, consistant light/fire/life provides a reliable, more long lasting, more predicable results. Life is a choice .
