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 New Roads attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My mother
has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your New Roads chiropractor welcomes
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long!
New Roads chiropractic patients at New Roads Chiropractic Center know this for sure. Your New Roads chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the New Roads back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
New Roads Chiropractic Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not reluctant
at all about telling everyone in
New Roads.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found that 78% of American adults would rather 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 quite 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 options like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is viewed 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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed
that chiropractic care was effective in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% believed
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) New Roads Chiropractic Center gets
this. New Roads Chiropractic Center knows that New Roads back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
New Roads chiropractic care and then count on
New Roads Chiropractic Center to point them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many responsibilities:
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 direct
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It’s absolutely the role
your New Roads chiropractor enjoys most! What do
New Roads back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. Such access benefits
in several ways. One is increasing the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is
possibly 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) New Roads Chiropractic Center is
here to do its share to help.
