Coordinated Murfreesboro Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain
So, you want relief for your back pain to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers get that! Most Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of this, too, and works closely with our Murfreesboro 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 described the referral practices of general practitioners to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics with more than one chiropractor and with diagnostic ultrasound received more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per week - in chiropractic practices came via a referral from a general practitioner. Chiropractors who sent more patients to general practitioners also received more referrals. Those who reported expertise in geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients a week received more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate the significance of interprofessional communication which your Murfreesboro chiropractor supports! Most Chiropractic Clinic collaborates with local Murfreesboro healthcare colleagues in all ways to help our shared 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 quite enlightening. Those who received spinal manipulation were more likely to be very satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who got spinal manipulation reported their health-related quality of life scores significantly higher than those with prescription drug therapy: 12.85 for SMT vs 9.92 for PDT. As for the concern they felt receiving each type of therapy, SMT patients receiving chiropractic care reported a lower degree of concern than the PDT patient receiving prescription therapy. (2) The goal of care at Most Chiropractic Clinic is to decrease our Murfreesboro back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and its care by performing a thorough examination, describing well what the condition is along with its expected care outcomes, and performing gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
