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 West Palm Beach chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership involving the West Palm 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 reported that chiropractors like
yours at Moses Chiropractic take pleasure in their profession
most as they are able to reduce pain
and increase strength, flexibility, and power with
their patients via a thorough
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
reported as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis
for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your West Palm Beach chiropractor concurs! 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 wondered
how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of
low back pain sufferers. They discovered that one new spine surgeon
increased non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the increase of one primary care physician
decreased 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 mature
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor added 18.7
conservative care episodes and decreased 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 elder adults. The researchers state
certain limitations in their study as they extracted a certain
set of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the study. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability influences
how much is expended 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 more spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community reduced spending. (3) In West Palm Beach, back
pain sufferers have a partner at Moses Chiropractic who can help
them with in-office care as well as at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF
CARE
Medicine is realizing
that the one who is really at the center of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person experiencing
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 needs suggestions regarding
how best to do that: when to pursue more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to manage pain (behavioral changes to manage
and prevent pain), and how to be confident in managing their pain independently. These all
take encouragement from clinicians regarding education about the condition and the partnership
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) West Palm Beach back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic
need to communicate how each views back
pain management to most advantageously reduce the
pain!
