Coordinated Tonawanda Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain
So, you desire relief for your back pain to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers get that! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows this, too, and works closely with our Tonawanda back pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to get them back to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics with more than one chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound got more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals a week - in chiropractic offices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who sent more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in geriatric care and had more new patients per week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate the importance of interprofessional interaction which your Tonawanda chiropractor embraces! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation collaborates with local Tonawanda healthcare colleagues whenever possible to benefit our mutual back and neck pain patients in getting relief and reclaiming their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often an indication of how well we feel, especially as we age. A report of Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was very revealing. Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who got spinal manipulation reported their health-related quality of life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85 for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. Regarding the level of concern over the care they were receiving, SMT patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of concern than the PDT patient getting prescription therapy. (2) The goal of care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is to decrease our Tonawanda back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and its care by performing a thorough examination, explaining well what the condition is as well as the expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
