(Aren’t you happy someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we were all guilty of learning only to pass an exam. Going to professional school, such learning is more vital than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much do you remember from your high school or college days?) An international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching during chiropractic education was beneficial for clinical practice, allowing better understanding, application, and analysis of anatomical material to justify a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian study of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic students. The chiropractic practitioners rated their knowledge of anatomy and proved it in a test showing their knowledge. This was compared to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The chiropractors demonstrated that they retained their knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the thought that chiropractic practitioners may not keep it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is utilized daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know their anatomy. (2) Your New York City chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation daily uses knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day. The most ordinary reasons people said they sought chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they received were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive plenty of attention from chiropractic patients and their chiropractors, of course! But positive side effects of chiropractic care emerge in the medical literature as well like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded, randomized trial, researchers described the immediate effects of manual therapy to the upper thoracic spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of musculoskeletal pain patients (ie, back pain, spine pain, neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
