Carrolltown Chiropractor Embraces the role of Back Pain Specialist
When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Carrolltown attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My back is killing me!”
Your Carrolltown chiropractor loves this and could talk back pain and neck pain all day long! Carrolltown chiropractic patients at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation know this for sure.

Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not shy in the least about telling everyone in Carrolltown.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup teamed up 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 deal 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 meds. 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 stressed how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug methods like spinal manipulation are rational options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health care providers who are specialists in spine care as their education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% said chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation gets this. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows that Carrolltown back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Carrolltown chiropractic care and then trust Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation to point them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to avert future adverse health and/or spinal pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners take on many tasks: 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 coordinate all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s a big job with lots of responsibility! It is truly the job your Carrolltown chiropractor embraces! What do Carrolltown back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care experts like chiropractors initially. It benefits in several ways. One is increasing the value of spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care shortage. (1,5) Three is lessening 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to do its part to help.
