So, you desire back pain relief to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers can relate to that! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of
this, too, and works closely with our Fort Wayne back
pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to return to “normal,” delighting in life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one
chiropractor and with diagnostic ultrasound obtained
more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per
week - in chiropractic offices came via a referral from a general
practitioner. Chiropractors who sent
more patients to general practitioners also received
more referrals. Those who shared that they had expertise in
geriatric care and had more new patients per
week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize
the importance of interprofessional communication
which your Fort Wayne chiropractor embraces! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
works with local Fort Wayne healthcare colleagues whenever
possible to benefit our shared back and
neck pain patients in finding relief and regaining
their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often a reflection of
how well we feel, especially as we get older. A study of
Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was very revealing.
Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very
satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation reported their health-related quality of
life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85
for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. Regarding the level of concern over the care they were
receiving, SMT
patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient getting prescription therapy. (2) The
goal of care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is to decrease our
Fort Wayne back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by performing a thorough examination, explaining
well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and delivering gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
