Your Ashburn chiropractor understands
your spine! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned much
about anatomy of the spine and puts that knowledge to
use daily. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy is continually
at the forefront of your chiropractor’s mind as you and each spine pain, neck
pain, back pain patient walks into the practice!
It is so exciting! (Aren’t you glad
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 affect 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 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 rated their knowledge of anatomy and proved it in a test
showing their knowledge. This was compared
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors demonstrated that they kept 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 know
their anatomy. (2) Your Ashburn chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation daily applies 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 get 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 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 feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on knowledge
of the spine’s anatomy.
