When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Plainville attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! I have this pain down my leg…”
Your Plainville chiropractor enjoys
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Plainville chiropractic patients at Layden Chiropractic know this for sure. Your Plainville chiropractor welcomes
the reputation as the Plainville back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Layden Chiropractic knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reticent
at all about telling everyone in
Plainville.
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 rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered
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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug approaches like
spinal manipulation are rational
alternatives. (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 believed
that chiropractic care was valuable in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Layden Chiropractic gets
this. Layden Chiropractic grasps that Plainville back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
Plainville chiropractic care and then trust
Layden Chiropractic to guide them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve 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 play many tasks:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), present
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 phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It’s truly the job
your Plainville chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Plainville back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. This benefits
in a few ways. One is increasing the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing 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) Layden Chiropractic is
here to do its part to help.
