Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor knows
your spine! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor studied much
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes 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 is so exciting! (Are you not you glad
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we’re
all guilty of learning only to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more important
than ever since it will affect everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic education was beneficial
for clinical practice, allowing better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information 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 proved it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was compared
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors demonstrated that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the thought
that practicing chiropractors may not keep
it after a period of time. Knowledge of anatomy is used
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor does! We
will be happy to talk about it!
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation daily uses knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people reported seeking chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive a lot of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But positive 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 reported on 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 intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come experience
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on knowledge
of the spine’s anatomy.
