The Fort Wayne chiropractic patients have expectations of their care. Those are important to share!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!

Chiropractic patients have definite expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a thorough exam, a distinct diagnosis of the source of pain, specific information and guidance on how to cope with it, and pain relief – one who listens well, verifies the reality of their pain, and involves them in the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We expect it does! Our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients want the same from our treatment at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic! 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, effective communication, and expertise from their chiropractor as well as reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance, and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want a lot of the same, too: know the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), communicate clearly, develop 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 reported on the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and their partiality for hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Fort Wayne chiropractic patients desire their chiropractors to be healthcare team partners, clear communicators of realistic expectations, amazing hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and great listeners! Your Fort Wayne 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 explaining the problem – spinal stenosis and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which includes patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.

Aaron Chiropractic Clinic presents support for core stabilization exercises at any age in the management and prevention of back pain.  

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise

Exercise is not just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers benefit from core stabilization to reduce chronic low back pain. A study of fighter pilots showed significantly less chronic low back pain and less experience of neck pain after core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks benefit, too, as those who experience with low back pain often have 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 non-athlete, young or not so young, exercise works! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is ready to talk with you about what would work for you.
