Your Pensacola chiropractor knows
your spine! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor studied much
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge daily. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy is continually
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient comes through the door!
It’s so exciting! (Aren’t you glad
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we’re
all guilty of learning just to pass a test. Going
to professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your school days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic school was beneficial
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical material to substantiate
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian report
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners rated their knowledge of anatomy and demonstrated it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was compared
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors demonstrated that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the thought
that practicing chiropractors may not keep
it after a period of time. Knowledge of anatomy is utilized
daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know
their anatomy. (2) Your Pensacola chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Applying spinal manipulation daily applies knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people reported seeking chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive a lot of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But positive side effects of
chiropractic care materialize in the medical literature as well
like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded,
randomized trial, researchers described the immediate effects
of manual therapy to the upper thoracic
spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal
pain intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
