When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often goes like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Largo attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My neck is really hurting.”
Your Largo chiropractor welcomes
this and could talk back pain and neck pain forever!
Largo chiropractic patients at Hollstrom & Associates Inc know this for sure. Your Largo chiropractor accepts
the reputation as the Largo back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and inviting!
Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows back pain and neck pain, is a specialty
clinic for spine pain patients, and isn’t reticent
in the least about letting everyone know in
Largo.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve 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 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 emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like
spinal manipulation are reasonable
options. (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 involve spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults expressed
that chiropractic care was successful in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% thought
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc gets
this. Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows that Largo back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Largo chiropractic care and then count on
Hollstrom & Associates Inc to guide them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and enhance their health and
spine to prevent future adverse health and/or spinal
pain conditions.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners play many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), give
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 coordinate
all aspects of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It is a big job with lots
of responsibility! It’s just the job
your Largo chiropractor embraces! What do
Largo back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies supplied by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. It benefits
in several ways. One is improving the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping deal with the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is
possibly 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) Hollstrom & Associates Inc is
here to do its part to help.
