Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your Fort Wayne chiropractor knows your spine! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands anatomy. Back in chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned 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 walks through the door! It’s so exciting! (Aren’t you glad someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we’re all guilty of learning just to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more important than ever since it will affect everyday work. (How much do you remember from your school days?) An international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy instruction during chiropractic school was beneficial for clinical practice, allowing 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 proved it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was contrasted to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The chiropractors showed that they kept their knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the hypothesis that chiropractic practitioners may not keep it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is used daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know their anatomy. (2) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor does! We’ll be happy to talk about it!
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation daily uses 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 experienced were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions get a great deal 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 manual therapy to the upper thoracic spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of musculoskeletal pain patients (ie, back pain, spine pain, neck pain, etc.). The researchers stated that musculoskeletal pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
