When I check into a hotel for a conference, the conversation
often sounds like this:
Front desk staff: “So what are you here for?”
Me: “I’m a chiropractor from Buffalo, NY attending a
meeting.”
Front desk staff: “Really? My father
has the worst back pain and pain down the leg!”
Your Buffalo, NY chiropractor loves
this and could talk back pain and neck pain forever!
Buffalo, NY chiropractic patients at The Novelli Wellness Center know this for sure. Your Buffalo, NY chiropractor enjoys
the status as the Buffalo, NY back pain specialist.
Being a primary spine practitioner is so exciting and engaging!
The Novelli Wellness Center understands back pain and neck pain, is a specialty

Buffalo, NY.
BEING THE PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONER
You’ve heard of the Gallup Poll. A consultant
for Gallup partnered with the Palmer College of Chiropractic for
a study that showed that 78% of American adults would prefer
to use a non-drug option over a prescription medication to cope with
pain like low back or neck pain. Those same adults considered
physical therapy and chiropractic care as very effective and safe
when compared to pain meds. Aaron Carroll MD writes for the New York Times, and
in a blog post called “For Bad Backs, It’s Time to Rethink Biases about
Chiropractors,” he emphasized how bad the opioid crisis is in
the US and that evidence-based non-drug options like
spinal manipulation are practical
alternatives. (1) Chiropractic identity researchers wrote
that chiropractic is viewed by society as a profession of health
care providers who are experts in spine care as their
education, scope of practice, and educational accrediting and testing revolve
around spine care. (2) In one study 61.4% of US adults believed
that chiropractic care was effective in caring for neck and back pain. 52.6% believed
chiropractors were trustworthy. (3) The Novelli Wellness Center understands
this. The Novelli Wellness Center sees that Buffalo, NY back pain
and neck pain patients find relieving help with the
Buffalo, NY chiropractic care and then trust
The Novelli Wellness Center to guide them in other healthy approaches to
control their back pain conditions and improve their health and
spine to avert future unpleasant health and/or spinal
pain issues.
BENEFITS OF PRIMARY SPINE PRACTITIONERS
Specially trained to care for patients with
spinal disease, primary spine practitioners play many responsibilities:
diagnose, rule out serious pathology (cancer, fracture, infection, etc.), give
evidence-based care like spinal manipulation, manual therapy, rehab/exercise,
education about the condition, counseling to help the back pain sufferer accept
the condition and its outcome expectations as well as commit to its treatment plan, and direct
all facets of care (imaging, injections, surgery if/when
needed). (4) It’s an extensive job with lots
of responsibility! It is just the role
your Buffalo, NY chiropractor enjoys most! What do
Buffalo, NY back pain sufferers wants? Consumers desire
access to non-drug therapies provided by spine care
experts like chiropractors first. Such access helps
in several ways. One is improving the value of
spine care delivery. Two is helping address the primary care
shortage. (1,5) Three is reducing the cost of care. (6) Four is
potentially reining in the opioid epidemic. The American
College of Physicians’ recommendations for back pain sufferers specifically say
that opioids are the last option behind non-pharmacological treatment options
like spinal manipulation, exercise, acupuncture, etc. (7) The Novelli Wellness Center is
here to do its part to help.
