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: “Oh! My back is
killing me!”
Your San Jose chiropractor enjoys
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
San Jose chiropractic patients at McMurray Chiropractic Solutions know this for sure. Your San Jose chiropractor embraces
the reputation as the San Jose back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
McMurray Chiropractic Solutions knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not reticent
at all 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 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 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 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 expressed
that chiropractic care was valuable in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions understands
this. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions sees that San Jose back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
San Jose chiropractic care and then count on
McMurray Chiropractic Solutions to guide them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated 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 organize
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It’s truly 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. This helps
in several ways. One is improving the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is
possibly reining in 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) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is
here to do its share to help.
