Fort Wayne Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
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 Fort Wayne attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is killing me!”
Your Fort Wayne chiropractor loves this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever! Fort Wayne chiropractic patients at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic know this for sure. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor welcomes the status as the Fort Wayne back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and inviting! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reluctant at all about letting everyone know in Fort Wayne.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that found that 78% of American adults would prefer to use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite effective and safe when compared to pain medications. 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 methods 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 specialists in spine care as their education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care was successful in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic gets this. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows that Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients find relief with the Fort Wayne chiropractic care and then trust Aaron Chiropractic Clinic to guide 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.), provide 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 coordinate all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It is a big job with lots of responsibility! It is precisely the job your Fort Wayne chiropractor embraces! What do Fort Wayne 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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is here to do its part to help.
