Dentists. Chefs. Flight attendants. Medicare retirees. This is just the beginning of the list. All are at some risk for back and/or neck pain. Some just have more risk. Setting up an appointment to see a chiropractor for these neuromusculoskeletal and musculoskeletal conditions makes sense. Back pain and neck pain and the associated arm pain and leg pain are spinal conditions chiropractic physicians are trained and skilled to manage. And in West Des Moines, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa helps contain the risk and reduce the pain for West Des Moines workers of all vocations AND hobbies!
In a recent report, researchers compared patients (Medicare beneficiaries from 66 to 99 years of age) seeking care from a chiropractor versus a primary care physician (PCP). The patients desired care for a neuromusculoskeletal problem. The probability of injury or risk of injury to head/neck/trunk of a patient within 7 days of the visit was 76% LOWER for chiropractic office visit patients than those patients who saw a PCP:
- Chiropractic: only 40 per 100,000 patients
- PCP: 152 per 100,000 patients (1)
