Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Knows Anatomy Well, Knows Your Spine Well

Your Auburn chiropractor knows your spine! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows anatomy. Back in chiropractic school, your chiropractor learned a lot about anatomy of the spine and utilizes that knowledge daily. 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 comes through the door! It’s so exciting! (Are you not you delighted someone finds it exciting?)

LEARNING ANATOMY IN SCHOOL

When we were in school, we’re all guilty of learning only to pass a test. Going to 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 found that chiropractors thought that a higher level of anatomy instruction during chiropractic school was advantageous for clinical practice, allowing better understanding, application, and analysis of anatomical information to support 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 by taking a test of their knowledge. This was contrasted to the equivalent in their chiropractic student counterparts. The chiropractors demonstrated that they retained their knowledge of anatomy - and knew they did! – breaking the hypothesis that chiropractic practitioners may not retain it after school. Knowledge of anatomy is used daily in chiropractic practice, and chiropractors understand their anatomy. (2) Your Auburn chiropractor does! We’ll be happy to talk about it!

SPINAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE PUT TO USE IN CHIROPRACTIC CLINICAL PRACTICE

Applying spinal manipulation daily uses 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 experienced 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 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 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 increased the risk of cardiovascular events. (4) Come feel these benefits of chiropractic treatment based on knowledge of the spine’s anatomy.
