Chiropractic patients have pretty clear expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a full examination, a distinct diagnosis of the source of pain, specific information and guidance on how to cope with it, and pain relief – one who listens intently, confirms the realness of their pain, and involves them in the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We believe it does! Our New York City chiropractic patients hope for the same from our treatment at Rosenberg Wellness Center! Athletes and “geri-active” patients mix it up a little. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, symptom improvement, good communication, and expertise from their chiropractor as well as reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance, and injury prevention advice. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want a lot of the same, too: guidance through the healthcare system as necessary (important!), convey important information clearly, develop an interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as comforting patience with the patient!), and possess clinical and diagnostic skill. They also reported on the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preference for hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) New York City chiropractic patients desire their chiropractors to be healthcare team players, clear communicators of realistic expectations, skilled hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and great listeners! Your New York City chiropractor is all that…and then some!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Nate McKee on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he meets patient expectations by clearly explaining the problem – spinal stenosis and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
New York City CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers gain from core stabilization to reduce chronic low back pain. A study of fighter pilots resulted in significantly less chronic low back pain and less experience of neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks benefit, too, as those who experience with low back pain often experience poor postural control which contributes to poor balance and a higher risk of falls. Core stability training in older women improved many outcome scores for them: VAS visual analog scale of pain level, Oswestry disability, timed-up-and-go test, 10-minute walking, and four-square step test. (5) Athlete or not, young or old, exercise works! Rosenberg Wellness Center is ready to talk with you about what would work for you.
