WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have pretty clear
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a thorough exam,
a distinct diagnosis of the cause of pain, precise
information and instructions on how to deal with it,
and pain relief – one who listens well, verifies
the realness of their pain, and includes them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound familiar? We expect
it does! Our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients expect
the same from our treatment at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a bit. ATHLETES: Athletes expected
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, symptom improvement, clear communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor in addition to
reassurance, positive impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want a
lot of the same, too: know
the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), convey
important information clearly, develop an
interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as
comforting patience with the patient!), and possess clinical and
diagnostic skill. They also shared the value
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their partiality for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients want their chiropractors to be healthcare team partners, clear communicators of realistic expectations, skilled hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and terrific
listeners! Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is all that…and more!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Nate McKee on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he meets patient expectations
by clearly defining the issue – spinal stenosis
and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates
patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
gain from core stabilization to reduce chronic low
back pain. A study of fighter pilots resulted in
significantly less chronic low back pain and less experience of
neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks
benefit, too, as those who experience with low back pain often experience poor postural control which leads to
poor balance and a greater risk of falls. Core stability training
in older women improved many outcome scores for them: VAS visual
analog scale of pain level, Oswestry disability, timed-up-and-go test,
10-minute walking, and four-square step test. (5) Athlete or non-athlete,
young or not so young, exercise works! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is here
to talk with you about what would work for you.
