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 Burlington and Hamilton attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My back is
killing me!”
Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor welcomes
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic patients at Spinal Care Clinic certainly know
this. Your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor welcomes
the status as the Burlington and Hamilton back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
Spinal Care Clinic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t bashful
at all about letting everyone know in
Burlington and Hamilton.
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 showed that 78% of American adults would prefer
to 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 meds. 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 stressed 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 concluded
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 expressed
that chiropractic care was valuable in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% said
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Spinal Care Clinic gets
this. Spinal Care Clinic grasps that Burlington and Hamilton back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic care and then rely on
Spinal Care Clinic to point them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to avert future adverse health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners perform many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), provide
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’s a big job with plenty
of responsibility! It’s precisely the role
your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor embraces! What do
Burlington and Hamilton back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. 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
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) Spinal Care Clinic is
here to do its part to help.
