So, you desire relief for your
back pain to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers get that! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows
this, too, and works closely with our Fernandina Beach back
pain patients and their other healthcare providers to return to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A recent study described the referral practices
of general practitioners to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one
chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound obtained
more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals a
week - in chiropractic practices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who sent
more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in
geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients each
week received more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate
the importance of interprofessional communication
which your Fernandina Beach chiropractor embraces! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
works with local Fernandina Beach healthcare colleagues in all ways to benefit our mutual back and
neck pain patients in getting relief and reclaiming
their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often an indication of
how well we feel, especially as we age. A study of
Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was quite revealing.
Those who got 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. As for the concern they felt receiving each type of therapy, SMT
patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is to lower our
Fernandina Beach back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by performing a thorough examination, explaining
clearly what the condition is and its expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
