Coordinated West Palm Beach Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain

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.
