When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from West Palm Beach attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your West Palm Beach chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients at Moses Chiropractic certainly know
this. Your West Palm Beach chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the West Palm Beach back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Moses Chiropractic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not reluctant
in the least about letting everyone know in
West Palm Beach.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that revealed 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 thought
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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults believed
that chiropractic care successfully
relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Moses Chiropractic gets
this. Moses Chiropractic sees that West Palm Beach back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
West Palm Beach chiropractic care and then rely on
Moses Chiropractic to point 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 conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), present
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 direct
all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with lots
of responsibility! It is absolutely the role
your West Palm Beach chiropractor enjoys most! What do
West Palm Beach back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It benefits
in a few ways. One is increasing the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is lessening the cost of care. (6) Four is
possibly reining in 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) Moses Chiropractic is
here to do its share to help.
