San Jose Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
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 San Jose attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My neck is really hurting.”
Your San Jose chiropractor loves this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long! San Jose chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Solutions know this for sure. Your San Jose chiropractor accepts the status as the San Jose back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and inviting! Chiropractic Solutions knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t shy in the least about letting everyone know in San Jose.
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 revealed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults believed 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 practical alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded that chiropractic is seen 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 expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Chiropractic Solutions understands this. Chiropractic Solutions knows that San Jose back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the San Jose chiropractic care and then rely on Chiropractic Solutions 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 direct all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with plenty of responsibility! It is just the job your San Jose chiropractor embraces! What do San Jose back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care experts like chiropractors initially. Such access benefits in a few ways. One is improving 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 possibly curbing the opioid epidemic. The American College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Chiropractic Solutions is here to do its part to help.
