Coordinated Fort Wayne Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain

So, you desire back pain relief to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers can relate to that! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of this, too, and works closely with our Fort Wayne back pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to return to “normal,” delighting in life again.

REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN

A new study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one chiropractor and with diagnostic ultrasound obtained more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per week - in chiropractic offices came via a referral from a general practitioner. Chiropractors who sent more patients to general practitioners also received more referrals. Those who shared that they had expertise in geriatric care and had more new patients per week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize the importance of interprofessional communication which your Fort Wayne chiropractor embraces! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic works with local Fort Wayne healthcare colleagues whenever possible to benefit our shared back and neck pain patients in finding relief and regaining their quality of life.

QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION

Quality of life is often a reflection of how well we feel, especially as we get older. A study of Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was very revealing. Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who received spinal manipulation reported their health-related quality of life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85 for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. Regarding the level of concern over the care they were receiving, SMT patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of concern than the PDT patient getting prescription therapy. (2) The goal of care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is to decrease our Fort Wayne back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and its care by performing a thorough examination, explaining well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and delivering gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
