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 Severna Park attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! I have this pain down my leg…”
Your Severna Park chiropractor loves
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
Severna Park chiropractic patients at Back And Neck Care Center certainly know
this. Your Severna Park chiropractor welcomes
the status as the Severna Park back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Back And Neck Care Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not bashful
at all about letting everyone know in
Severna Park.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought
physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite effective and safe
when compared to pain meds. 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like
spinal manipulation are practical
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is seen by society as a profession of health
care providers who are specialists 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 believed
that chiropractic care was successful in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% said
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Back And Neck Care Center understands
this. Back And Neck Care Center sees that Severna Park back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Severna Park chiropractic care and then trust
Back And Neck Care Center to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to prevent future adverse health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained 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 coordinate
all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with lots
of responsibility! It’s precisely the role
your Severna Park chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Severna Park back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. It helps
in several ways. One is increasing 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
potentially reining in the opioid epidemic. The American
College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically state
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Back And Neck Care Center is
here to do its share to help.
