Chiropractic’s goal is to give
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 Auburn chiropractor: gentle, pain-relieving, conservative
care of spine pain. It is a partnership involving the Auburn
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 amazing! A recent survey reported that chiropractors like
yours at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. enjoy their profession
most as they are capable to reduce pain
and increase strength, flexibility, and power with
their patients through an inclusive
treatment plan. Two of the top features of being a chiropractor were
noted as “being trained to diagnose” – the foundation
for quality care and desirable clinical outcomes! - and “being able to transform peoples’ quality
of life.” (1) Your Auburn chiropractor agrees! Being
your healthcare partner - your back pain specialist - particularly in managing spine pain
issues is the best part of daily practice.
EFFECT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
AVAILABILITY: MD/Surgeon, DC, PCP
Researchers questioned
how a community’s healthcare workforce impacted 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 state
certain limitations in their study as they extracted a certain
set of patients from the 16 million Medicare Part B enrollees (who had
at least one episode 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 transformed
by provider type and whether the provider availability rises or falls. Spine surgeon availability was most strongly linked
with increased spending. The loss of one spine surgeon in a
community reduced spending. (3) In Auburn, back
pain sufferers get a partner at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 truly at the center of managing pain
and chronic disorders is the person experiencing
pain and chronic disorder. When back pain is the chronic
issue, the low back pain sufferer self-manages much of
the time anyway and needs suggestions about
how best to do that: when to pursue more care (symptoms,
imaging, advice), how to handle pain (behavioral changes to handle
and prevent pain), and how to be assured of their independent pain management’s
effectiveness. These all
take support from clinicians along the
lines of education about the condition and the collaboration
of the patient and the healthcare provider. (4) Auburn back pain
sufferers and their healthcare providers like your chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.
need to communicate how each views back
pain management to best reduce the
pain!
