WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have pretty clear
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a full examination,
a clear diagnosis of the source of pain, precise
information and guidance on how to cope with it,
and pain relief – one who listens intently, verifies
the realness of their pain, and includes them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We expect
it does! Our Pflugerville chiropractic patients hope for
the same from our treatment at Pflugerville Wellness Center! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a little. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, symptom improvement, clear communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor as well as
reassurance, positive impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want much the same, too: know
the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), communicate clearly, foster an
interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as
comforting patience with the patient!), and have clinical and
diagnostic skill. They also expressed the value
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their partiality for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Pflugerville chiropractic
patients desire their chiropractors to be healthcare team players, clear communicators of realistic expectations, amazing hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and terrific
listeners! Your Pflugerville chiropractor is all that…and more!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Nate McKee on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he meets patient expectations
by clearly defining the issue – spinal stenosis
and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates
patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
Pflugerville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
gain from core stabilization to reduce chronic low
back pain. A study of fighter pilots showed
significantly less chronic low back pain and less incidence of
neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks
benefit, too, as those who suffer with low back pain often experience poor postural control which leads to
poor balance and a higher risk of falls. Core stability training
in older women boosted many outcome scores for them: VAS visual
analog scale of pain level, Oswestry disability, timed-up-and-go test,
10-minute walking, and four-square step test. (5) Athlete or not,
young or not so young, exercise works! Pflugerville Wellness Center is ready
to talk with you about what would work for you.
