When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Sandy Springs attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My neck is really hurting.”
Your Sandy Springs chiropractor enjoys
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long!
Sandy Springs chiropractic patients at Cross Chiropractic Center know this for sure. Your Sandy Springs chiropractor embraces
the status as the Sandy Springs back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Cross Chiropractic Center understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reluctant
at all about letting everyone know in
Sandy Springs.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found that 78% of American adults would prefer
to 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 meds. 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 methods like
spinal manipulation are rational
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health
care providers who are experts in spine care as their
education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve
around 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) Cross Chiropractic Center gets
this. Cross Chiropractic Center grasps that Sandy Springs back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Sandy Springs chiropractic care and then trust
Cross Chiropractic Center to point them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance 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 play many tasks:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), give
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 facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with plenty
of responsibility! It is precisely the role
your Sandy Springs chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Sandy Springs back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It benefits
in several ways. One is improving 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) Cross Chiropractic Center is
here to do its share to help.
