When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from West Des Moines attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your West Des Moines chiropractor loves
this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long!
West Des Moines chiropractic patients at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa certainly know
this. Your West Des Moines chiropractor welcomes
the reputation as the West Des Moines back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so stimulating and engaging!
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t bashful
in the least about telling everyone in
West Des Moines.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that found that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought
physical therapy and chiropractic care as very effective and safe
when compared to pain medications. 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 approaches like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded
that chiropractic is seen by society as a profession of health
care providers who are experts 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% believed
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa gets
this. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees that West Des Moines back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
West Des Moines chiropractic care and then trust
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa to lead them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal
pain issues.
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 organize
all phases of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is an extensive job with plenty
of responsibility! It is truly the job
your West Des Moines chiropractor enjoys most! What do
West Des Moines back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It benefits
in a few 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 state
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is
here to do its part to help.
