So, you want back pain relief to return and enjoy life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers can relate to that! Chiropractic Care knows
this, too, and collaborates with our West Palm Beach back
pain patients and their other healthcare providers to get
them back to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A recent study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one
chiropractor and with diagnostic ultrasound obtained
more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals per
week - in chiropractic offices came via a referral from a general
practitioner. Chiropractors who referred
more patients to general practitioners also received
more referrals. Those who reported expertise in
geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients a
week received more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate
the significance of interprofessional communication
which your West Palm Beach chiropractor embraces! Chiropractic Care
collaborates with local West Palm Beach healthcare colleagues whenever
possible to help our mutual back and
neck pain patients in finding relief and regaining
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 get older. A study 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 versus 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation documented 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) Our goal at Chiropractic Care is to lower our
West Palm Beach back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by doing a thorough examination, describing
clearly what the condition is and its expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
