Why Refer? With so many people suffering from spine related pain, Chiropractors are poised to provide hands-on treatment for the relief of spinal issues. Chiropractic Physicians spend four years of graduate studies dedicated to anatomy and differential diagnosis of spinal pain. 95% of spinal complaints have a mechanical origin. As such, they respond well to manual treatment. With a large problem list and patients rightly concerned about surgical or invasive procedures, a non-surgical conservative approach is often best suited to address spinal pain. We can help your patients by addressing one of their most common complaints while removing one concern from your problem list.
Clinical Prediction Rules now help us identify patients that will respond favorably to Spinal Manipulation, End Range Loading (McKenzie Exercises), or a Spinal Stabilization Program.
The Diagnosis Based Clinical Decision Rule (DBCDR) is a new paradigm for treating patients based on evaluating the most common sources of back pain to establish pain generators and potential contributing factors. Treatment addresses these issues systematically and periodically assesses progress. Following this treatment method provides positive results for most people.
