Coordinated Montreal Chiropractic and GP Care of Back Pain

So, you desire relief for your back pain to get back to enjoying life like “normal”? Back pain sufferers can relate to that! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows this, too, and works closely with our Montreal back pain patients and their other healthcare providers to get them back to “normal,” enjoying life again.

REFERRALS TO CHIROPRACTORS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN

A recent study described the referral practices of general practitioners to Danish chiropractors. Chiropractic clinics that have more than one chiropractor and also offer diagnostic ultrasound obtained more referrals. 31% of the new patients - 2.5 referrals per week - in chiropractic practices came via general practitioner referral. Chiropractors who sent more patients to general practitioners also were referred more patients. Those who reported expertise in geriatric care and had a higher number of new patients per week got more referrals, too. (1) These findings accentuate the significance of interprofessional interaction which your Montreal chiropractor supports! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic works with local Montreal healthcare colleagues whenever possible to help our mutual back and neck pain patients in finding relief and regaining their quality of life.

QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION

Quality of life is often an indication 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 quite enlightening. Those who got spinal manipulation were more likely to be very satisfied with their care: 84% for SMT versus 50% for PDT. Those who got spinal manipulation reported 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 receiving prescription therapy. (2) Our goal at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is to lower our Montreal back pain patients’ concern over their pain condition and its care by doing a thorough examination, explaining clearly what the condition is and its expected care outcomes, and delivering gentle, relieving care for back pain, neck pain, and other spine-related pain relief.
