When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Fernandina Beach attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My neck is
killing me!”
Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic know this for sure. Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor welcomes
the status as the Fernandina Beach back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reluctant
in the least about telling everyone in
Fernandina Beach.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that showed 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 believed
physical therapy and chiropractic care as very 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 stressed how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug methods like
spinal manipulation are rational
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health
care providers who are experts 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 effective in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic gets
this. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic grasps that Fernandina Beach back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Fernandina Beach chiropractic care and then count on
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to avert future unpleasant 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.), give
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 organize
all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is an extensive job with plenty
of responsibility! It’s just the job
your Fernandina Beach chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. Such access helps
in several ways. One is improving 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 curbing the opioid epidemic. The American
College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is
here to do its part to help.
