Healthy News from Your Manahawkin Chiropractor February 2018
Manahawkin back pain patients are central to our Manahawkin chiropractic practice. Our Manahawkin chiropractic patients’ thoughts and expectations are influential in the treatment you receive and the clinical outcome from that Manahawkin chiropractic care you get. Research shows that proponents of mind/body practices (like acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, massage, yoga in this paper) believe these practices treat, prevent and are more efficient than other choices like prescriptions. (1) It is important for all caregivers to know what their patients are thinking, believe and want. Be sure to communicate that to us! What does a Manahawkin low back pain patient expect from a physician? 90% expected an exam, tests, diagnosis, reassurance, advice, clear reason for their pain, symptom management, and the benefits/risks of treatment. About 50% looked to be referred to a specialist. About 60% wanted to discuss life problems. (2) Does that sound like what you want? Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is open to lending an ear to you, talking, examining, diagnosing and treating you for Manahawkin back pain relief.
