Chiropractic Solutions Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your San Jose chiropractor understands
your spine! Chiropractic Solutions understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned much
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge daily. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy is always
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient comes through the door!
It’s so exciting! (Aren’t you happy
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we were
all guilty of learning just to pass a test. Going
to professional school, such learning is more important
than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists described
that chiropractors felt that a higher level of anatomy instruction
during chiropractic education was advantageous
for clinical practice, allowing better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to support
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian report
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners rated their knowledge of anatomy and demonstrated it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was contrasted
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they retained their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the thought
that practicing chiropractors may not keep
it after a period of time. Knowledge of anatomy is used
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know
their anatomy. (2) Your San Jose chiropractor does! We
will be happy to talk about it!
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Applying spinal manipulation every
day applies knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people said they
sought chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive plenty of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate side effects of
chiropractic care emerge in the medical literature as well
like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded,
randomized trial, researchers reported on the immediate effects
of manual therapy to the upper thoracic
spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers stated that musculoskeletal
pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
