Williamson Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
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 Williamson attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My father has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your Williamson chiropractor enjoys this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long! Williamson chiropractic patients at Apple Country Chiropractic know this for sure. Your Williamson chiropractor accepts the status as the Williamson back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and inviting! Apple Country Chiropractic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t shy at all about letting everyone know in Williamson.
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 rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults believed physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug approaches like spinal manipulation are practical alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote that chiropractic is viewed 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 expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% said chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Apple Country Chiropractic gets this. Apple Country Chiropractic grasps that Williamson back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Williamson chiropractic care and then count on Apple Country Chiropractic 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 conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners perform many tasks: diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), present 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 lots of responsibility! It is absolutely the job your Williamson chiropractor embraces! What do Williamson back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care experts like chiropractors first. It helps in a few ways. One is increasing 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 possibly reining in the opioid epidemic. The American College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Apple Country Chiropractic is here to do its share to help.
