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.
