Coordinated Plainville Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain

So, you want relief for your back pain to return and enjoy life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers get that! Layden Chiropractic knows this, too, and collaborates with our Plainville back pain patients and their other healthcare providers to return to “normal,” enjoying life again.

REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN

A new study described the referral practices of general practitioners to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound received 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 sent more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients each week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize the importance of interprofessional communication which your Plainville chiropractor supports! Layden Chiropractic collaborates with local Plainville healthcare colleagues whenever possible to help our shared back and neck pain patients in finding relief and reclaiming their quality of life.

QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION

Quality of life is often a reflection of how well we feel, especially as we get older. A report of Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was quite 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 reported their health-related quality of life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85 for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. As for the concern they felt receiving each type of therapy, SMT patients receiving chiropractic care stated a lower degree of concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) The goal of care at Layden Chiropractic is to lower our Plainville back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and its care by doing a thorough examination, describing well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and delivering gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
