Your New Roads chiropractor understands
your spine! New Roads Chiropractic Center understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned much
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge every day. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy is always
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient comes through the door!
It is so exciting! (Are you not you glad
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we were
all guilty of learning only to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will affect everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists discovered
that chiropractors felt that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic school was beneficial
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to justify
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian report
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners reported
that they knew their anatomy and proved it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was compared
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the hypothesis
that chiropractic practitioners may not keep
it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is used
daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know
their anatomy. (2) Your New Roads chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation every
day utilizes knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people reported seeking chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they experienced
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions get a lot of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate side effects of
chiropractic care emerge in the medical literature as well
like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded,
randomized trial, researchers described the immediate effects
of upper thoracic spine manual therapy on cardiovascular autonomic control of musculoskeletal pain
patients (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal
pain intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come experience
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on knowledge
of the spine’s anatomy.
