Montreal 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 Montreal attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! I have this pain down my leg…”
Your Montreal chiropractor loves this and could converse about back pain and neck pain forever! Montreal chiropractic patients at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic certainly know this. Your Montreal chiropractor welcomes the reputation as the Montreal back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not shy in the least about letting everyone know in Montreal.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup partnered 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 deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in the US and that evidence-based non-drug approaches like spinal manipulation are rational options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote that chiropractic is seen 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 believed that chiropractic care was effective in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% said chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands this. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic grasps that Montreal back pain and neck pain patients find relief with the Montreal chiropractic care and then trust Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic to point them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to prevent future unpleasant health and/or spinal pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially educated to care for patients with spinal disease, primary spine practitioners play many responsibilities: diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), provide 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 direct all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It is an extensive job with lots of responsibility! It’s precisely the job your Montreal chiropractor enjoys most! What do Montreal back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care experts like chiropractors first. Such access benefits in a few ways. One is improving the value of spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here to do its part to help.
