Fernandina Beach Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist

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.
