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 West Palm Beach attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! I have this pain down my leg…”
Your West Palm Beach chiropractor enjoys
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Care know this for sure. Your West Palm Beach chiropractor welcomes
the status as the West Palm Beach back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and inviting!
Chiropractic Care understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not reticent
at all about letting everyone know in
West Palm Beach.
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 revealed that 78% of American adults would prefer
to 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 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug methods like
spinal manipulation are rational
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded
that chiropractic is viewed 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% believed
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Chiropractic Care gets
this. Chiropractic Care knows that West Palm Beach back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
West Palm Beach chiropractic care and then trust
Chiropractic Care to point them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to avert future adverse health and/or spinal
pain issues.
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.), 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 organize
all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with plenty
of responsibility! It’s truly the job
your West Palm Beach chiropractor enjoys most! What do
West Palm Beach back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. It helps
in several 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 reining in 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 Care is
here to do its share to help.
