Coordinated Carrolltown Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain
So, you desire back pain relief to return and enjoy life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers get that! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is well aware of this, too, and collaborates with our Carrolltown back pain patients and their other healthcare professionals to return to “normal,” enjoying life again.
REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
A new study noted how general practitioners refer to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound obtained more referrals. 31% of all new patients - 2.5 referrals per week - in chiropractic practices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who sent more patients to general practitioners also got more referrals. Those who shared that they had expertise in geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients each week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings emphasize the significance of interprofessional communication which your Carrolltown chiropractor embraces! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation works with local Carrolltown healthcare colleagues in all ways to help our mutual back and neck pain patients in getting relief and reclaiming their quality of life.
QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Quality of life is often a reflection of how well we feel, especially as we age. A study of Medicare recipients who received spinal manipulation (SMT) and/or were prescribed drug therapy (PDT) for their chronic low back pain was very revealing. Those who got spinal manipulation were more likely to be very satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT vs 50% for PDT. Those who received spinal manipulation documented 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 stated a lower degree of concern than the PDT patient getting prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is to decrease our Carrolltown 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 delivering gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
