Chiropractic’s goal is to give
the back pain sufferer 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 Plainville chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership among the Plainville
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 amazing! A recent survey found that chiropractors like
yours at Layden Chiropractic relish their profession
most because they are capable to decrease pain
and increase strength, flexibility, and power alongside
their patients via a comprehensive
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
reported as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis
for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Plainville 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 discovered that one new spine surgeon
increased non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the addition of one primary care physician
decreased 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 older
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor added 18.7
conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 older adults. The researchers state
certain limitations in their study as they extracted a specific
group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one episode of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the analysis set. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability impacts
how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is transformed
by provider type and whether the provider availability increases
or decreases. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with higher spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community reduced spending. (3) In Plainville, back
pain sufferers have a partner at Layden 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 core of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person experiencing
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain is the chronic
issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages most of
the time anyway and desires suggestions about
how best to do that: when to pursue more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to manage pain (behavioral changes to handle
and prevent pain), and how to be confident in managing their pain independently. These all
take support from clinicians concerning education about the condition and the collaboration
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Plainville back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic
need to work on how each views back
pain management to most advantageously help the patient!
