Chiropractic’s goal is to give
the back pain patient a sense of control over the back pain and
to live through the pain and not avoid life. That is
also the goal of your Fort Wayne chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership among the Fort Wayne
back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie
Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE
OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is the
best! A recent survey found that chiropractors like
yours at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc relish their profession
most as they are able to decrease pain
as well as increase strength, flexibility, and power with
their patients through an inclusive
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
marked as “being trained to diagnose” – the foundation
for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor agrees! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - especially in managing spine pain
issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned
how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of
low back pain sufferers. They discovered that one new spine surgeon
added to the number of non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the addition of one primary care physician
decreased 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 elder
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7
conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 older adults. The researchers acknowledge
certain limitations in their study as they pulled a specific
set of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one episode of low back pain and relocation) which resulted
in 402,372 persons in the analysis set. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability affects
how much is expended on each beneficiary. The effect is transformed
by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly associated
with more spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community decreased spending. (3) In Fort Wayne, back
pain sufferers get a partner at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc who can guide them with in-office care as well as at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF
CARE
Medicine is realizing
that the one who is truly at the center of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person dealing with
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain happens to be the chronic
issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages much of
the time anyway and needs suggestions about
how best to do that: when to pursue more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to contain
and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s
effectiveness. These all
take support from clinicians regarding education about the condition and the collaboration
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Fort Wayne back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
must communicate how each sees back
pain management to most advantageously reduce the
pain!
