So, you want back pain relief to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers get that! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is well aware of
this, too, and works closely with our Pensacola back
pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to return to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A recent study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics with more than one
chiropractor and with diagnostic ultrasound obtained
more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per
week - in chiropractic practices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who sent
more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who shared that they had expertise in
geriatric care and had more new patients a
week received more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize
the significance of interprofessional communication
which your Pensacola chiropractor embraces! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
collaborates with local Pensacola healthcare colleagues in all ways to help 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 an indication 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 enlightening.
Those who got spinal manipulation were more likely to be very
satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation documented 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 stated a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is to lower our
Pensacola back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by doing a thorough examination, describing
well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
