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 Fort Wayne attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My spouse
has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your Fort Wayne chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain forever!
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc know this for sure. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor welcomes
the reputation as the Fort Wayne back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and engaging!
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and is not bashful
in the least about letting everyone know in
Fort Wayne.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have 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 rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal 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 options like
spinal manipulation are practical
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded
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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc gets
this. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc sees that Fort Wayne back pain
and neck pain patients find relief with the
Fort Wayne chiropractic care and then count on
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to avert future adverse health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners perform many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), present
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 direct
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s a big job with plenty
of responsibility! It is just the job
your Fort Wayne chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Fort Wayne back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors initially. Such access helps
in several ways. One is improving the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is
possibly 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is
here to do its share to help.
