Chiropractic’s goal is to give
the back pain patient a sense of control over the back pain and
to live through the pain and not avoid life. That is
also the goal of your Pensacola chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership involving the Pensacola
back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie
Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE
OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is amazing! A recent survey reported that chiropractors like
yours at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center take pleasure in their profession
most as they are capable to reduce pain
as well as build strength, flexibility, and power alongside
their patients through a thorough
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
marked as “being trained to diagnose” – the basis
for quality care and wanted clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Pensacola chiropractor concurs! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - particularly in managing spine pain
issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers wondered
how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of
low back pain sufferers. They found that one new spine surgeon
added to the number of non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the increase of one primary care physician
reduced 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 elder
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7
conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 older adults. The researchers state
certain limitations in their study as they extracted a specific
group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which resulted
in 402,372 persons in the study. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability affects
how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is altered
by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with increased spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community reduced spending. (3) In Pensacola, back
pain sufferers have a partner at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center who can guide them with in-office care in addition to at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF
CARE
Medicine is realizing
that the one who is really at the core of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person suffering with
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain is the chronic
issue, the low back pain patient self-manages most of
the time anyway and needs suggestions about
how best to do that: when to pursue more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to manage
and prevent pain), and how to be confident in managing their pain independently. These all
take encouragement from clinicians along the
lines of education about the condition and the partnership
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Pensacola back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
must work on how each sees back
pain management to most advantageously help the patient!
