Pure Chiropractic Helps Back Pain Patients Manage Their Back Pain
Chiropractic’s goal is to provide the back pain patient a sense of control over the back pain and to live through the pain while not avoiding life. That’s also the goal of your Concord, NC chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative care of spine pain. It is a partnership among the Concord, NC back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is the best! A recent survey found that chiropractors like yours at Pure Chiropractic relish their profession most because they are able to reduce pain and build strength, flexibility, and power with their patients via a thorough treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were noted as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis for quality care and wanted clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality of life.” (1) Your Concord, NC chiropractor concurs! Being your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - particularly in managing spine pain issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers wondered how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of low back pain sufferers. They found that one new spine surgeon added to the number of non-conservative care episodes by 31.3 per 1000 older adults, the increase of one primary care physician reduced 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 older adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7 conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative care episodes per 1000 mature adults. The researchers admit certain limitations in their study as they pulled a certain group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who reported at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which resulted in 402,372 persons in the study. (2) In the Medicare population, healthcare provider availability affects how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is altered by provider type and whether the provider availability increases or decreases. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly associated with more spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a community decreased spending. (3) In Concord, NC, back pain sufferers get a partner at Pure Chiropractic who can help them with in-office care in addition to at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF CARE
Medicine is recognizing that the one who is really at the center of managing pain and chronic disorders is the person dealing with pain and chronic disorder. When back pain is the chronic issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages much of the time anyway and desires suggestions regarding how best to do that: when to seek more care (symptoms, imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to contain and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s effectiveness. These all take support from clinicians along the lines of education about the condition and the partnership of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Concord, NC back pain sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic must work on how each sees back pain management to most advantageously help the patient!
