WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have definite
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a full examination,
a distinct diagnosis of the source of pain, detailed
information and guidance on how to cope with it,
and pain relief – one who listens well, verifies
the realness of their pain, and includes them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We bet
it does! Our Millville chiropractic patients want
the same from our treatment at Wilson Family Chiropractic! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a bit. ATHLETES: Athletes expected
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, symptom improvement, effective communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor as well as
reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want a
lot of the same, too: know
the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), communicate clearly, develop an
interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as
comforting patience with the patient!), and have clinical and
diagnostic skill. They also expressed the value
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preference for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Millville 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 Millville 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 defining 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.
Millville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise is not just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
gain from core stabilization to decrease chronic low
back pain. A study in fighter pilots showed
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 greater 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! Wilson Family Chiropractic is here
to talk with you about what would work for you.
