Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Helps Back Pain Patients Manage Their Back Pain
Chiropractic’s goal is to give the back pain patient 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative care of spine pain. It’s a partnership involving the Fernandina Beach 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic enjoy their profession most because they are able to reduce pain and increase strength, flexibility, and power with their patients via an inclusive treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were noted as “being trained to diagnose” – the foundation for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality of life.” (1) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor agrees! Being your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - especially in managing spine pain issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced 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 addition of one primary care physician decreased 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 older adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7 conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative care episodes per 1000 elder adults. The researchers state certain limitations in their study as they extracted a specific group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who reported at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which resulted in 402,372 persons in the study. (2) In the Medicare population, healthcare provider availability influences how much is spent on each beneficiary. The effect is transformed by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked with higher spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a community decreased spending. (3) In Fernandina Beach, back pain sufferers have a partner at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic who can guide 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 truly at the core of managing pain and chronic disorders is the person suffering with pain and chronic disorder. When back pain happens to be the chronic issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages most of the time anyway and desires suggestions regarding how best to do that: when to request more care (symptoms, imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to manage and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s effectiveness. These all take encouragement from clinicians regarding education about the condition and the collaboration of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic must work on how each sees back pain management to most advantageously help the patient!
