So, you desire back pain relief to return and enjoy life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers can relate to that! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows
this, too, and collaborates with our Manahawkin back
pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to get
them back to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study described the referral practices
of general practitioners to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one
chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound obtained
more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per
week - in chiropractic practices came via a referral from a general
practitioner. Chiropractors who referred
more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in
geriatric care and had more new patients a
week received more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize
the significance of interprofessional interaction
which your Manahawkin chiropractor embraces! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
works with local Manahawkin healthcare colleagues in all ways to help our shared back and
neck pain patients in finding relief and regaining
their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often an indication of
how well we feel, especially as we get older. A report of
Medicare recipients who used spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was quite enlightening.
Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very
satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT versus 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation documented their health-related quality of
life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85
for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. As for the concern they felt receiving each type of therapy, SMT
patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient getting prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is to lower our
Manahawkin back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by doing a thorough examination, describing
clearly what the condition is and its expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
