Minster Chiropractic Center Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your Minster chiropractor understands
your spine! Minster Chiropractic Center understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor studied 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’s so exciting! (Are you not you glad
someone finds it exciting?)
LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL
Going through school, we’re
all guilty of learning only to pass an exam. When in professional school, such learning is more important
than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your school days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found
that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy teaching
during chiropractic education was beneficial
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information 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 in a test
showing their knowledge. This was contrasted
to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they kept their
knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – contradicting the thought
that chiropractic practitioners may not keep
it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is used
daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand
their anatomy. (2) Your Minster chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Applying spinal manipulation daily applies knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary reasons people said they
sought 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 get plenty of attention from chiropractic patients and their
chiropractors, of course! But positive 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 described the immediate effects
of upper thoracic spine manual therapy on cardiovascular autonomic control of patients with musculoskeletal pain (ie, back pain, spine pain,
neck pain, etc.). The researchers stated that musculoskeletal
pain intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come experience
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
