Your Tonawanda chiropractor knows
your spine! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned a lot
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge daily. 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 comes through the door!
It is so exciting! (Are you not you happy
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
When we were in school, we’re
all guilty of learning just to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will impact 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 instruction
during chiropractic school was advantageous
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical material to support
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian report
of chiropractors compared their knowledge of anatomy to that of chiropractic
students. The chiropractic practitioners reported
that they knew their anatomy and demonstrated it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was contrasted
to the equivalent 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 utilized
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Tonawanda chiropractor does! We’ll be happy to talk about it!
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 reported seeking chiropractic care were low back pain (49.7%), neck pain (22.5%), and
extremity issues (10.0%). The most common treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions receive a lot 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 upper thoracic spine manual therapy on cardiovascular autonomic control of musculoskeletal pain
patients (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers explained that musculoskeletal
pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come experience
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
