Satterwhite Chiropractic Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well
Your Oxford chiropractor knows
your spine! Satterwhite Chiropractic understands anatomy. Back in
chiropractic school, your chiropractor studied a lot
about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge every day. Knowledge of the spine’s anatomy 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 just to pass a test. When in professional school, such learning is more vital
than ever since it will impact everyday work. (How much
do you remember from your high school or college days?) An
international survey of chiropractors and anatomists found
that chiropractors felt that a higher level of anatomy instruction
during chiropractic education was beneficial
for clinical practice, permitting better understanding,
application, and analysis of anatomical information to justify
a clinical decision in their daily clinical practice. (1) An Australian study
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 contrasted
to the same in their chiropractic student counterparts. The
chiropractors showed that they retained 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
every day in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors know
their anatomy. (2) Your Oxford chiropractor does! Just ask to find out more.
SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL
PRACTICE
Performing spinal manipulation every
day uses knowledge of the spine’s anatomy every day.
The most ordinary 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 experienced
were spinal manipulation (79.3%), soft tissue therapy (35.1%), and formal
patient education (31.3%). (3) Spinal conditions get a great
deal 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 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 explained that musculoskeletal
pain intensified the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel
these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on spinal anatomy knowledge.
