Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor understands
your spine! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned a lot
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge daily. Knowing the anatomy of the
spine is continually
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient comes through the door!
It is so exciting! (Aren’t you happy
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we were
all guilty of learning just to pass a test. When in professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will affect everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your school days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists described
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 material to substantiate
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian study
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners reported
that they knew their anatomy and proved it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was compared
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they retained their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the thought
that chiropractic practitioners may not keep
it after a period of time. Knowledge of anatomy is used
daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Applying spinal manipulation every
day uses knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most common 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 lot 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 patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal
pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on knowledge
of the spine’s anatomy.
