New York City 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 New York City attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is really hurting.”
Your New York City chiropractor welcomes this and could converse about back pain and neck pain all day long! New York City chiropractic patients at Rosenberg Wellness Center certainly know this. Your New York City chiropractor enjoys the status as the New York City back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting! Rosenberg Wellness Center knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and is not shy at all about telling everyone in New York City.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup teamed up with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that showed that 78% of American adults would prefer to use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to deal with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite 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 methods like spinal manipulation are practical options. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded that chiropractic is viewed 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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults believed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% thought chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Rosenberg Wellness Center gets this. Rosenberg Wellness Center knows that New York City back pain and neck pain patients find relief with the New York City chiropractic care and then trust Rosenberg Wellness Center to lead them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to prevent future adverse 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 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 direct all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It is a big job with lots of responsibility! It’s precisely the job your New York City chiropractor embraces! What do New York City back pain sufferers wants? Consumers want access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care experts like chiropractors first. This benefits in several ways. One is improving 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 possibly curbing the opioid epidemic. The American College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to do its part to help.
