So, you want relief for your
back pain to return and enjoy life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers get that! Layden Chiropractic knows
this, too, and collaborates with our Plainville back
pain patients and their other healthcare providers to return to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study described the referral practices
of general practitioners to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one
chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound received
more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals per
week - in chiropractic offices came via a referral from a general
practitioner. Chiropractors who sent
more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in
geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients each
week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize
the importance of interprofessional communication
which your Plainville chiropractor supports! Layden Chiropractic
collaborates with local Plainville healthcare colleagues whenever
possible to help our shared back and
neck pain patients in finding relief and reclaiming
their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often a reflection of
how well we feel, especially as we get older. A report of
Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was quite revealing.
Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very
satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT versus 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation reported their health-related quality of
life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85
for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. As for the concern they felt receiving each type of therapy, SMT
patients receiving chiropractic care stated a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) The
goal of care at Layden Chiropractic is to lower our
Plainville back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by doing a thorough examination, describing
well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and delivering gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
