Murfreesboro 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 Murfreesboro attending a meeting.”

Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”

Your Murfreesboro chiropractor enjoys this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever! Murfreesboro chiropractic patients at Most Chiropractic Clinic know this for sure. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor welcomes the status as the Murfreesboro back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting! Most Chiropractic Clinic knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t shy in the least about letting everyone know in Murfreesboro.

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 found that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought 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 stressed how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like spinal manipulation are rational options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded 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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic gets this. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows that Murfreesboro back pain and neck pain patients find relief with the Murfreesboro chiropractic care and then rely on Most Chiropractic 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 conditions.

BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS

Specially trained to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners play many responsibilities: 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 facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It is a big job with plenty of responsibility! It’s absolutely the job your Murfreesboro chiropractor enjoys most! What do Murfreesboro back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care experts like chiropractors initially. This 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 lessening the cost of care. (6) Four is potentially 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) Most Chiropractic Clinic is here to do its part to help.
