When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Colorado Springs attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My back is
killing me!”
Your Colorado Springs chiropractor enjoys
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever!
Colorado Springs chiropractic patients at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR know this for sure. Your Colorado Springs chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the Colorado Springs back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reticent
in the least about letting everyone know in
Colorado Springs.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults believed
physical therapy and chiropractic care as very effective and safe
when compared to pain medications. Aaron Carroll MD writes for the New York Times, and
in a blog post called “For Bad Backs, It’s Time to Rethink Biases about
Chiropractors,” he stressed how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug approaches like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is seen by society as a profession of health
care providers who are specialists in spine care as their
education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed
that chiropractic care successfully
relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% said
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR gets
this. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR sees that Colorado Springs back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
Colorado Springs chiropractic care and then count on
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal
pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), provide
evidence-based care like spinal manipulation, manual therapy, rehab/exercise,
education about the condition, counseling to help the back pain sufferer accept
the condition and its outcome expectations as well as commit to its treatment plan, and organize
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It is precisely the role
your Colorado Springs chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Colorado Springs back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It helps
in a few ways. One is increasing the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is lessening the cost of care. (6) Four is
potentially curbing the opioid epidemic. The American
College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically state
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is
here to do its share to help.
