Manahawkin Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Manahawkin attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My spouse has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your Manahawkin chiropractor loves this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long! Manahawkin chiropractic patients at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center know this for sure. Your Manahawkin chiropractor embraces the reputation as the Manahawkin back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and engaging! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not reluctant at all about letting everyone know in Manahawkin.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that showed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults believed physical therapy and chiropractic care as very effective and safe when compared to pain medications. 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 stressed how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug options 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 specialists in spine care as their education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care was successful in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% believed chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center gets this. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees that Manahawkin back pain and neck pain patients find relief with the Manahawkin chiropractic care and then rely on Manahawkin Chiropractic Center to lead them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners perform many tasks: diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), provide 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 organize all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with plenty of responsibility! It is absolutely the job your Manahawkin chiropractor enjoys most! What do Manahawkin back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care experts like chiropractors first. This helps in a few ways. One is increasing 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 potentially curbing the opioid epidemic. The American College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here to do its part to help.
