Hollstrom & Associates Inc Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your Largo chiropractor knows
your spine! Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned much
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge every day. Knowing the anatomy of the
spine is continually
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient walks into the practice!
It is so exciting! (Are you not you delighted
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we were
all guilty of learning just to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more important
than ever since it will affect everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists discovered
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic school was beneficial
for clinical practice, allowing better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to substantiate
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 demonstrated it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was contrasted
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they retained their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the hypothesis
that practicing chiropractors may not retain
it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is used
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Largo chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation every
day utilizes knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most common reasons people said they
sought chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The typical treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive a great
deal of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate side effects of
chiropractic care materialize in the medical literature as well
like potential cardiovascular benefit. In a placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded,
randomized trial, researchers reported on the immediate effects
of manual therapy to the upper thoracic
spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal
pain intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
