Toronto 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 Toronto attending a meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Oh! My neck is killing me!”
Your Toronto chiropractor welcomes this and could talk back pain and neck pain forever! Toronto chiropractic patients at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre know this for sure. Your Toronto chiropractor accepts the reputation as the Toronto back pain specialist. Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t bashful at all about telling everyone in Toronto.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You have heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for a study that showed that 78% of American adults would rather use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults thought physical therapy and chiropractic care as quite effective and safe when compared to pain meds. 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 approaches like spinal manipulation are rational alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers concluded that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health care providers who are specialists in spine care as their education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed that chiropractic care successfully relieved neck and back pain. 52.6% said chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre understands this. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre grasps that Toronto back pain and neck pain patients find relieving help with the Toronto chiropractic care and then trust Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to point them in other healthy approaches to control their back pain conditions and improve their health and spine to prevent future unpleasant 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 responsibilities: 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 organize all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with plenty of responsibility! It’s truly the role your Toronto chiropractor embraces! What do Toronto back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire access to non-drug therapies delivered by spine care experts like chiropractors first. Such access helps in several ways. One is improving the value of spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is potentially reining in 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) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is here to do its share to help.
