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 Manchester attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My back is
killing me!”
Your Manchester chiropractor welcomes
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Manchester chiropractic patients at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries certainly know
this. Your Manchester chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the Manchester back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reticent
at all about letting everyone know in
Manchester.
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 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 considered
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 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 specialists 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 successfully
relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% said
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries gets
this. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries grasps that Manchester back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Manchester chiropractic care and then rely on
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 trained to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners perform many tasks:
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 Manchester chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Manchester back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It benefits
in several ways. One is increasing the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is
here to do its part to help.
