WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have pretty clear
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a thorough exam,
a clear diagnosis of the cause of pain, precise
information and guidance on how to deal with it,
and pain relief – one who listens intently, confirms
the realness of their pain, and involves them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound familiar? We believe
it does! Our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients expect
the same from our care at Most Chiropractic Clinic! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a bit. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, improvement
of symptoms, good communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor in addition to
reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want much the same, too: guidance through the healthcare system as necessary (important!), communicate clearly, develop an
interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as
comforting patience with the patient!), and possess clinical and
diagnostic skill. They also expressed the value
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preference for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Murfreesboro chiropractic
patients want their chiropractors to be healthcare team players, clear communicators of realistic expectations, skilled hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and great
listeners! Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is all that…and more!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Nate McKee on The Back
Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he meets patient expectations
by clearly defining the problem – spinal stenosis
and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which includes
patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
benefit from core stabilization to reduce chronic low
back pain. A study of fighter pilots resulted in
significantly less chronic low back pain and less incidence of
neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks
benefit, too, as those who experience with low back pain often experience poor postural control which leads to
poor balance and a higher risk of falls. Core stability training
in older women improved many outcome scores for them: VAS visual
analog scale of pain level, Oswestry disability, timed-up-and-go test,
10-minute walking, and four-square step test. (5) Athlete or not,
young or old, exercise works! Most Chiropractic Clinic is ready
to talk with you about what would work for you.
