So, you want back pain relief to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back
pain sufferers get that! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is well aware of
this, too, and collaborates with our Fort Wayne back
pain patients and their other healthcare providers to get
them back to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish
chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics with more than one
chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound got
more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals a
week - in chiropractic offices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who referred
more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who reported expertise in
geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients a
week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate
the significance of interprofessional communication
which your Fort Wayne chiropractor supports! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
works with local Fort Wayne healthcare colleagues whenever
possible to help our mutual back and
neck pain patients in getting relief and regaining
their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often an indication of
how well we feel, especially as we get older. A report of
Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was very revealing.
Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very
satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT versus 50% for PDT. Those who received
spinal manipulation documented their health-related quality of
life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85
for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. Regarding the level of concern over the care they were
receiving, SMT
patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of
concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is to decrease our
Fort Wayne back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and
its care by performing a thorough examination, explaining
clearly what the condition is as well as
the expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving
care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
