WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? It matters!
Chiropractic patients have definite
expectations of their chiropractic spinal care provider – a thorough examination,
a clear diagnosis of the cause of pain, detailed
information and instructions on how to deal with it,
and pain relief – one who listens intently, confirms
the realness of their pain, and includes them in
the treatment plan. (1) Sound familiar? We bet
it does! Our Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients expect
the same from our treatment at Novelli Wellness Center! Athletes and
“geri-active” patients mix it up a little. ATHLETES: Athletes presumed
musculoskeletal assessment and treatment at and beyond the site of injury, improvement
of symptoms, effective communication,
and expertise from their chiropractor as well as
reassurance, positive impact on their athletic performance,
and injury prevention advice. (2) "GERI-ACTIVEs": Older back pain sufferers want much the same, too: know
the healthcare system to guide them through it as necessary (important!), convey
important information 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 reported on the importance
of interdisciplinary collaboration and their preference for
hands-on treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. (3) Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
patients desire their chiropractors to be healthcare team players, clear communicators of realistic expectations, amazing hands-on musculoskeletal treatment providers, and terrific
listeners! Your Orchard Park, NY 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 explaining the issue – spinal stenosis
and balance – and its treatment plan via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which includes
patient education, spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
Orchard Park, NY CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Core Stabilization Exercise
Exercise is not just for the athlete! Back pain sufferers
gain from core stabilization to reduce chronic low
back pain. A study in fighter pilots showed
significantly less chronic low back pain and less incidence of
neck pain after core stabilization exercise. (4) Older folks
benefit, too, as those who suffer with low back pain often deal
with poor postural control which leads to
poor balance and a higher 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! Novelli Wellness Center is here
to talk with you about what would work for you.
