Fernandina Beach Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
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 Fernandina Beach attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor enjoys this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long! Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic certainly know this. Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor welcomes the reputation as the Fernandina Beach back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not bashful at all about letting everyone know in Fernandina Beach.
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 found 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 believed 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 methods like spinal manipulation are practical alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health care providers who are experts 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 was valuable in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands this. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows that Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Fernandina Beach chiropractic care and then rely on Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to guide them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to avert future adverse health and/or spinal pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners play many tasks: diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), give 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 aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s a big job with lots of responsibility! It is absolutely the role your Fernandina Beach chiropractor enjoys most! What do Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care experts like chiropractors first. Such access helps in several ways. One is improving the value of spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is potentially curbing 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) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here to do its part to help.
