Chiropractic’s goal is to give
the back pain patient a sense of control over the back pain and
to live through the pain and not avoid life. That’s
also the goal of your Murfreesboro chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It’s a partnership involving the Murfreesboro
back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie
Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE
OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is the
best! A recent survey found that chiropractors like
yours at Most Chiropractic Clinic enjoy their profession
most as they are capable to decrease pain
and build strength, flexibility, and power alongside
their patients via a comprehensive
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
reported as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis
for quality care and wanted clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor concurs! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - particularly in managing spine pain
issues is a highlight of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned
how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of
low back pain sufferers. They found that one new spine surgeon
added to the number of non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the addition of one primary care physician
reduced 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 elder
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7
conservative care episodes and decreased 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 mature adults. The researchers state
certain limitations in their study as they pulled a specific
set of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the analysis set. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability influences
how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is transformed
by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with increased spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community decreased spending. (3) In Murfreesboro, back
pain sufferers have a partner at Most Chiropractic Clinic who can help
them with in-office care as well as at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF
CARE
Medicine is realizing
that the one who is really at the core of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person suffering with
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain is the chronic
issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages most of
the time anyway and wants suggestions about
how best to do that: when to seek more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to contain
and prevent pain), and how to be confident in managing their pain independently. These all
take encouragement from clinicians concerning education about the condition and the partnership
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Murfreesboro back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Most Chiropractic Clinic
need to work on how each views back
pain management to best help the patient!
