When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Malverne attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your Malverne chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long!
Malverne chiropractic patients at Malverne Health & Wellness know this for sure. Your Malverne chiropractor enjoys
the status as the Malverne back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
Malverne Health & Wellness understands 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
Malverne.
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 revealed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered
physical therapy and chiropractic care as very effective and safe
when compared to pain medications. 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is seen 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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults believed
that chiropractic care was effective in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% said
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Malverne Health & Wellness understands
this. Malverne Health & Wellness grasps that Malverne back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Malverne chiropractic care and then rely on
Malverne Health & Wellness to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to prevent future adverse health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on 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 organize
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s a big job with plenty
of responsibility! It is precisely the role
your Malverne chiropractor embraces! What do
Malverne back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want
access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. Such access helps
in a few 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
potentially curbing the opioid epidemic. The American
College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Malverne Health & Wellness is
here to do its part to help.
