Chiropractic patients have pretty clear expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a thorough examination, a distinct diagnosis of the cause of pain, specific information and guidance on how to deal with it, and pain relief – one who listens intently, verifies the realness of their pain, and includes them in the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We believe it does! Our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients hope for the same from our care at Most Chiropractic Clinic! Athletes and “geri-active” patients mix it up a little. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, improvement of symptoms, effective communication, and expertise from their chiropractor as well as reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance, and injury prevention advice. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want much the same, too: know the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), convey important information clearly, foster 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 shared the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and their partiality 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 terrific listeners! Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is all that…and then some!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Nate McKee on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he meets patient expectations by clearly explaining 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 gain from core stabilization to reduce chronic low back pain. A study of fighter pilots showed significantly less chronic low back pain and less experience of neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks benefit, too, as those who experience with low back pain often have poor postural control which contributes to poor balance and a higher risk of falls. Core stability training in older women boosted 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 non-athlete, young or old, exercise works! Most Chiropractic Clinic is prepared to talk with you about what would work for you.
