Your Millville chiropractor understands
your spine! Wilson Family Chiropractic understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned much
about anatomy of the spine and applies that knowledge daily. Knowing the anatomy of the
spine is always
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient comes into the practice!
It’s so exciting! (Are you not you delighted
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we were
all guilty of learning only to pass a test. When in professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will influence everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists discovered
that chiropractors felt that a higher level of anatomy instruction
during chiropractic education was beneficial
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical material to support
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian study
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners rated their knowledge of anatomy and demonstrated it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was compared
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the hypothesis
that chiropractic practitioners may not keep
it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is utilized
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Millville chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Applying spinal manipulation daily utilizes knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people said they
sought chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they experienced
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive plenty of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate side effects of
chiropractic care materialize in the medical literature as well
like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded,
randomized trial, researchers described the immediate effects
of manual therapy to the upper thoracic
spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of musculoskeletal pain
patients (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers stated that musculoskeletal
pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
