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 Manahawkin attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? I have this pain down my leg…”
Your Manahawkin chiropractor enjoys
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
Manahawkin chiropractic patients at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center know this for sure. Your Manahawkin chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the Manahawkin back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t shy
at all about telling everyone in
Manahawkin.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that showed that 78% of American adults would prefer
to use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal 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 approaches like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
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% believed
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands
this. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center grasps that Manahawkin back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
Manahawkin chiropractic care and then rely on
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center to point them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to prevent 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 perform many tasks:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), provide
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 organize
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with lots
of responsibility! It’s absolutely the job
your Manahawkin chiropractor embraces! What do
Manahawkin back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies supplied 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 state
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is
here to do its share to help.
