Chiropractic’s goal is to provide
the back pain sufferer a sense of control over the back pain and
to live through the pain and not avoid life. That’s
also the goal of your Montreal chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It’s a partnership involving the Montreal
back pain sufferer, the back pain care giver, and even the back pain payer (ie
Medicare).
CHIROPRACTIC ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROLE
OF BACK PAIN PROVIDER
Being a chiropractor is the
best! A recent survey found that chiropractors like
yours at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic enjoy their profession
most as they are capable to decrease pain
and build strength, flexibility, and power alongside
their patients via a thorough
treatment plan. Two of the best features of being a chiropractor were
noted as “being trained to diagnose” – the foundation
for quality care and wanted clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Montreal chiropractor concurs! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - especially in managing spine pain
issues is a highlight of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned
how a community’s healthcare workforce influenced the care of
low back pain sufferers. They discovered that one new spine surgeon
added to the number of non-conservative care episodes by 31.3
per 1000 older adults, the addition of one primary care physician
decreased 2.5 conservative care episodes per 1000 elder
adults, and the addition of one chiropractor increased 18.7
conservative care episodes and subtracted 3.6 non-conservative
care episodes per 1000 mature adults. The researchers admit
certain limitations in their study as they pulled a certain
group of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one occurrence of low back pain and relocation) which left 402,372 persons in the analysis set. (2) In the
Medicare population, healthcare provider availability impacts
how much is spent on each beneficiary. The effect is altered
by provider type and whether the provider availability increases
or decreases. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with more spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community reduced spending. (3) In Montreal, back
pain sufferers get a partner at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic who can help
them with in-office care as well as at-home self-care.
EFFECT OF BACK PAIN PATIENT SELF
CARE
Medicine is recognizing
that the one who is really at the core of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person experiencing
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain happens to be the chronic
issue, the low back pain patient self-manages most of
the time anyway and desires suggestions regarding
how best to do that: when to request more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to manage pain (behavioral changes to contain
and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s
effectiveness. These all
take guidance from clinicians concerning education about the condition and the partnership
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Montreal back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
need to communicate how each sees back
pain management to most advantageously reduce the
pain!
