Tonawanda Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Tonawanda attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? I have this pain down my leg…”
Your Tonawanda chiropractor loves this and could talk back pain and neck pain forever! Tonawanda chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation know this for sure. Your Tonawanda chiropractor accepts the reputation as the Tonawanda back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and engaging! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not bashful in the least about telling everyone in Tonawanda.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that revealed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite effective and safe when compared to pain meds. Aaron Carroll MD writes for the New York Times, and in a blog post called “For Bad Backs, It’s Time to Rethink Biases about Chiropractors,” he emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug approaches like spinal manipulation are reasonable options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote that chiropractic is seen by society as a profession of health care providers who are experts in spine care as their education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation gets this. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation sees that Tonawanda back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Tonawanda chiropractic care and then count on Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to point them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and spine to avert future unpleasant health and/or spinal pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many responsibilities: diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), give evidence-based care like spinal manipulation, manual therapy, rehab/exercise, education about the condition, counseling to help the back pain sufferer accept the condition and its outcome expectations as well as commit to its treatment plan, and direct all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with plenty of responsibility! It’s precisely the role your Tonawanda chiropractor embraces! What do Tonawanda back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care experts like chiropractors first. This benefits in a few ways. One is improving the value of spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care shortage. (1,5) Three is lessening the cost of care. (6) Four is possibly curbing the opioid epidemic. The American College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically state that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is here to do its share to help.
