Plainville Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Plainville attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My father has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your Plainville chiropractor welcomes this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long! Plainville chiropractic patients at Layden Chiropractic know this for sure. Your Plainville chiropractor enjoys the status as the Plainville back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting! Layden Chiropractic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t bashful at all about telling everyone in Plainville.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that showed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought 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 approaches like spinal manipulation are practical options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote that chiropractic is seen 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 revolve around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults believed that chiropractic care was successful in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Layden Chiropractic gets this. Layden Chiropractic knows that Plainville back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Plainville chiropractic care and then trust Layden Chiropractic to point them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to avert future unpleasant health and/or spinal pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on 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 direct all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with lots of responsibility! It’s absolutely the job your Plainville chiropractor embraces! What do Plainville back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies supplied 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 reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is potentially curbing 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) Layden Chiropractic is here to do its share to help.
