There are so many options to “see” the spine.
Imaging, ultrasound, clinical testing. What is best? That depends.
Your Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal pain doctor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
implements the test(s) that are necessary to “see’’
the spine most optimally to make the best treatment plan
for treatment and relief.
KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For
Chiropractors in addition to general
practitioners and other healthcare providers must be cognizant of all sorts of underlying triggers of
back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial
spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may require
imaging, lab tests, etc., to assist in the diagnosis. 20%
of back pain bouts may have these types of
underlying conditions that really should be found
in a timely manner. (1) Occasionally, knee osteoarthritis and
lumbar spondylosis come together in a patient.
Having one or the other condition significantly increased
the risk of having the other. (2) Though they’re not
likely in your vocabulary, they are in your chiropractor’s! Schmorl’s nodes. Seen
on imaging, these are seen in 33% of low back pain patients and in only
11.5% of subjects without symptoms. Body weight
seems to influence the number of these viewed on imaging. (3) Your
Fort Wayne chiropractor is familiar with with and more issues.
WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR LOOK FOR
Reduced balance capability could possibly
influence recovery from low back pain. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic looks
for depressive signs as they tend to contribute to
more primary care appointments in acute low back pain patients, higher
pain intensity, more disability, and less recovery in acute
and chronic back pain patients. (5) You are a whole person! [[companyame]] sees
you that way. So what else do we look for? Anything and everything
that may reduce your recovery.
