Encouraging Data on Chiropractic San Jose Back Pain Relief

Stats. Stats. Stats. We human-beings are well scrutinized: our illnesses, our behaviors, our lives. In healthcare, data and stats can be beneficial to improve care, particularly flow of low back pain management from conservative, non-surgical to surgical when needed. In San Jose Chiropractic Solutions is experienced in managing this flow of back pain care and in referring when/if needed.

LOW BACK PAIN MANAGEMENT DATA

The global leading cause of disability is low back pain. Diagnosis of the cause of low back pain – spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, non-specific and specific low back pain – is central to managing it. A new study stated that low back examination tests alone are not always helpful on their own. (1) That’s  the reason that Chiropractic Solutions correlates everything - your history, current pain, exam tests’ results, imaging, and more - to come up with a diagnosis and a treatment plan. And not all back pain sufferers need to go to specialists like spinal surgeons. Even the surgeons value it when patients who require their expertise (surgical skills) are referred to them. A recent study pointed out that of 500 cases sent to a neurosurgeon, only 22% were surgical candidates. 80% of referrals made during the study’s time period were deemed inappropriate. The researchers wrote that “triaging approaches led by musculoskeletal experts may improve referral appropriateness to specialized care.” (2) Chiropractic Solutions agrees and is prepared to fill that role. Your San Jose chiropractor specializes in the diagnosis and management of low back pain and is well aware of when to refer for specialized treatment like advanced imaging, surgery, etc.

STATS ON CHIROPRACTIC BACK PAIN PATIENT CARE

In the chiropractic corner of healthcare, Care Response is a filled database of details from chiropractic patients around the world. It’s been gathering data for over 10 years regarding patient satisfaction. Two main points of feedback were on what chiropractic patients felt was good about their care and what could be improved. The good included clinical outcomes (decreased pain, improved function, being understood as having pain and its cause), examination and explanation of the condition and its treatment, professionalism, friendliness, feeling valued as a person, safety, comfort, and punctuality. There is always room for improvement, and patients commented that they wanted to not be rushed during the visit, wanted to feel understood, wanted good outcomes, etc. (3) Chiropractic Solutions tries hard to concentrate on you during your time at our San Jose chiropractic office.

CHIROPRACTIC IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE

As your San Jose chiropractor, Chiropractic Solutions strives to deliver the ‘good’! And we take it one step further to maximize quality of life for our low back pain patients. The latest series of questions to help evaluate patients for these outcomes is known as PROMIS that covers function, pain interference, pain intensity, fatigue, sleep, depression, anxiety, satisfaction in social life, mental health, etc. The final word from all the collected data found that patients (1) improved significantly and felt they did, (2) improved significantly but did not think they did, (3) did not improve significantly but felt they did, (4) didn’t improve significantly or report feeling better. (4) We strive for the ideal #1 outcome described above, and we want to know how you feel you are.
