What Do We Treat ?
• Our doctors specialize in the evaluation and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders
• We excel in the treatment of low back pain, neck pain, and headaches, including disc injury, and soft tissue injury secondary to Low Speed Rear Impact Collisions (LOSRIC)
• Virtually 100% of what we treat is of a musculoskeletal origin and responds very well to conservative chiropractic care
Commonly Treated Conditions
• Neck pain, arm pain, and headache
• Low back and/or leg pain including HNP/radiculopathy (usually treated conservatively with flexion-distraction)
• Extremity sprain/strain
• Carpal/Tarsal Tunnel Syndromes
• Facet syndrome, myofascial pain disorders, fibromyalgia (MD/DC approach preferred)
• Scoliosis evaluation
Spinal Manipulation/Therapy• The mode of treatment most often used in a
Chiropractic setting is spinal manipulationspinal manipulation.• A wealth of research exists on the effectiveness and
safety of appropriately administered spinal manipulation (copies of specific literature can be provided upon request).
• Therapy modalities are also administered when pain, spasm and inflammation are present.
• Exercises are given to virtually every patient.• Activities of Daily Living are also discussed with each
patient, in addition to nutritional issues when appropriate or requested.
Therapy Modalities
Our office utilizes several forms of basic therapeutic modalities. Patients requiring more extensive therapy are referred to local PT centers.
1. High volt: electric muscle stimulation 2. Interferrential Current3. Intersegmental Traction4. Hot and Cold packs5. TENS: In advanced or permanent cases
Rehabilitation
• We offer low- tech highly effective rehabilitation services to those patients who have been injured at work or as a result of an accident.
• All rehab is doctor or therapist supervised and closely monitored to track the progression of the patient.
Safety Issues
• Patient safety is always a concern.• Our doctors carefully screen each patient
to determine if they are a candidate for chiropractic care.
• If a potential risk is identified the patient is sent back to the referring physician for further diagnostic tests or alternative treatment options.
Liability
One of the greatest concerns regarding a referral to a chiropractor is that of liability. However, please consider that our doctors follow very strict guidelines.
Liability associated with spinal manipulation is very low. The average D.C. pays a mere $1,400 per year in malpractice premiums……so you be the judge whether or not liability truly exists concerning referral to a DC.
Treatment GuidelinesOur office adheres to stringent nationally accepted guidelines. In general, if a patient does not respond with 2-4 weeks of care, treatment is terminated and other factors are considered.
Treatment • 2 weeks initially, followed by re-evaluation.• If improvement noted, treatment continues.• If no improvement, change treatment for two weeks,
and re-evaluate again.• Referral back to PCP/Specialist if improvement
unsatisfactory at any point
Manipulation Contraindications
• Advancing neurological deficits• Joint infection• Fracture• Joint instability• Ankylosing Spondylitis• Tumor• Abnormal provocative maneuver (History of
CVA)• High risk pregnancy
Exploring The Myths: “Drugs”
• One of the most common myths surrounding Chiropractic is the belief that Chiropractors do not advocate the use of medication or surgery.
• Nothing could be further from the truth. Our office works closely with and receives a large number of referrals from area medical physicians.
• We also maintain an extensive list of physicians to whom we refer. We believe by providing treatment options, including drugs when necessary, we can better serve our patients.
How much is enough?
Myth: “Once a patient begins care, they have to keep going the rest of their life.”
• If that were true, we would never have room for new patients.
• Reality: The majority of patients come in, get treated, get well, and are released from care…period.
What about Wellness Care?
• Once the patient’s condition has resolved or reaches the point of maximum therapeutic recovery, they are released PRN and/or instructed to return to their PCP.
• If a patient chooses wellness care, they are instructed on the importance of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being (obviously mental and spiritual concerns are referred elsewhere), and the need to utilize a multi-disciplinary team approach. No type of physician does it all! Chiropractic is but one spoke in the wheel of health.
Education/Training/Skill
Myth: “Chiropractors have a limited education.”
• Fact: Chiropractors are well educated and trained, completing 4 years of undergraduate studies, 4 years of study at an accredited chiropractic college with heavy emphasis on neuromusculoskeletal dx and tx, followed by passage of stringent national and state board examinations, then followed by the typical yearly CE requirements
• Additionally, post-graduate specialties can be obtained.
Why Refer Patients To A Chiropractor?
• If your patient is not responding to traditional medical care, a referral to a chiropractor is often an appropriate and effective alternative. Patients appreciate your willingness to consider other options.
• The very type of case which often frustrates medical physicians are the very types of cases most commonly treated by DCs. LBP, leg pain, neck pain, and headaches are the most common conditions treated in a chiropractic office.
Research
• Our office houses a very large data base of research.
• A wealth of research exists demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of manipulation.
• Studies and articles concerning soft tissue healing, chronic pain, and LOSRIC can be obtained upon request.
If you wish to be added to our monthly research update program, just let us know!
