Chiropractic’s goal is to provide
the back pain sufferer a sense of control over the back pain and
to live through the pain while not avoiding life. That is
also the goal of your Millville chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership involving the Millville
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 amazing! A new survey found that chiropractors like
yours at Wilson Family Chiropractic enjoy their profession
most as they are able to decrease pain
as well as increase strength, flexibility, and power with
their patients through a thorough
treatment plan. Two of the top features of being a chiropractor were
reported as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis
for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Millville chiropractor concurs! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - especially 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 impacted 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 increase of one primary care physician
reduced 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 elder
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor added 18.7
conservative care episodes and decreased 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 older adults. The researchers state
certain limitations in their study as they pulled a certain
group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who reported
at least one episode of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the study. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability affects
how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is altered
by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with more spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community decreased spending. (3) In Millville, back
pain sufferers get a partner at Wilson Family Chiropractic who can help
them with in-office care in addition to 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 experiencing
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain happens to be the chronic
issue, the low back pain patient self-manages much 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 handle
and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s
effectiveness. These all
take support from clinicians concerning education about the condition and the collaboration
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Millville back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic
must communicate how each views back
pain management to best help the patient!
