WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have pretty clear
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a full exam,
a distinct diagnosis of the cause of pain, detailed
information and guidance on how to deal with it,
and pain relief – one who listens intently, verifies
the reality of their pain, and involves them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound right? We bet
it does! Our San Jose chiropractic patients want
the same from our care at Chiropractic Solutions! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a little. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, symptom improvement, good communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor in addition to
reassurance, advantageous impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention input. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want much the same, too: guidance through the healthcare system as necessary (important!), communicate clearly, foster an
interpersonal relationship, have a passion for patient care (as well as
comforting patience with the patient!), and possess clinical and
diagnostic skill. They also shared the value
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preference for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) San Jose chiropractic
patients desire their chiropractors to be healthcare team partners, clear communicators of realistic expectations, amazing hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and terrific
listeners! Your San Jose chiropractor is all that…and more!
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 issue – 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.
San Jose CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
benefit from core stabilization to decrease chronic low
back pain. A study in fighter pilots resulted in
significantly less chronic low back pain and less experience of
neck pain following core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks
benefit, too, as those who suffer with low back pain often have poor postural control which contributes to
poor balance and a greater risk of falls. Core stability training
in older women boosted 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 non-athlete,
young or not so young, exercise works! Chiropractic Solutions is prepared
to talk with you about what would work for you.
