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 Pensacola attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your Pensacola chiropractor enjoys
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Pensacola chiropractic patients at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center know this for sure. Your Pensacola chiropractor embraces
the status as the Pensacola back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and engaging!
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t shy
in the least about telling everyone in
Pensacola.
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 found that 78% of American adults would prefer
to use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope 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 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 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% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center gets
this. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center sees that Pensacola back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Pensacola chiropractic care and then count on
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center to guide them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to prevent 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 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 coordinate
all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with plenty
of responsibility! It’s absolutely the job
your Pensacola chiropractor embraces! What do
Pensacola back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. Such access benefits
in several ways. One is improving the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is lessening 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) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is
here to do its share to help.
