Your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor understands
your spine! Novelli Wellness Center knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned a lot
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge every day. Knowing the anatomy of the
spine is always
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient walks through the door!
It is so exciting! (Aren’t you happy
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we’re
all guilty of learning only to pass an exam. Going
to professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your school days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists described
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic school was beneficial
for clinical practice, allowing better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to justify
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 proved it by taking a test of their knowledge. This was compared
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors demonstrated that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the thought
that chiropractic practitioners may not keep
it after a period of time. Knowledge of anatomy is used
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Orchard Park, NY chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
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 typical treatment they received
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions get a lot of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But fortunate side effects of
chiropractic care emerge 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 manual therapy to the upper thoracic
spine on cardiovascular autonomic control of patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers stated that musculoskeletal
pain increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come experience
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
