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 Pflugerville attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your Pflugerville chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Pflugerville chiropractic patients at Pflugerville Wellness Center certainly know
this. Your Pflugerville chiropractor enjoys
the reputation as the Pflugerville back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
Pflugerville Wellness Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reticent
at all about telling everyone in
Pflugerville.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found 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 considered
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 methods like
spinal manipulation are practical
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
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) Pflugerville Wellness Center gets
this. Pflugerville Wellness Center grasps that Pflugerville back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Pflugerville chiropractic care and then trust
Pflugerville Wellness Center to point 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 issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many responsibilities:
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 coordinate
all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It’s precisely the job
your Pflugerville chiropractor embraces! What do
Pflugerville back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It 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 lessening 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) Pflugerville Wellness Center is
here to do its share to help.
