Your West Palm Beach chiropractor knows
your spine! Moses Chiropractic understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor studied much
about anatomy of the spine and puts that knowledge to
use daily. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy is continually
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 happy
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we’re
all guilty of learning only to pass a test. When in professional school, such learning is more important
than ever since it will influence everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists discovered
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic education was advantageous
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to substantiate
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian report
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners reported
that they knew their anatomy and demonstrated it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was contrasted
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors demonstrated that they retained their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the hypothesis
that chiropractic practitioners may not retain
it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is utilized
daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know
their anatomy. (2) Your West Palm 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 utilizes knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people said they
sought 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 get plenty of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate 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 described the immediate effects
of upper thoracic spine manual therapy 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.
