Toronto Chiropractic Newsletter for February 2015

 

19.4 million US adults and 1.9 million US children use chiropractic. Interestingly, chiropractic manipulation is considered a “mind/body approach” in this data collection with yoga, meditation and massage therapy. (1,2) Do you use these or a combination of these? Most likely. Good for you! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre encourages you to take care of you in the healthiest ways possible!

 

87% of interviewed chiropractic students agreed that it is important for chiropractors to be educated in evidence-based practice. (That's paramount at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre!) A majority are also in favor of keeping chiropractic non-prescribing. And most want to be considered mainstream health care practitioners. (3) Chiropractic physicians like your Toronto chiropractor especially enjoy the reputation as the back pain specialist in healthcare!

 

Researchers interviewed medical students to see what they thought of chiropractic. Most were concerned about safety and efficacy of chiropractic. Then these students sat through a one hour presentation about chiropractic. Their attitudes and knowledge of chiropractic improved immediately! (4) Amazing what an hour can do! We chiropractors invite any opportunity to share our profession’s story! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is ready for all of your questions.

 

Patients with chronic low back pain come to embrace their role in their condition(s). They become aware and accept that they may experience some pain and that they have some control over it. This empowers back pain patients to continue self-care between, during and after physician care visits. (5) This is the goal of Toronto chiropractic care: that you understand your condition and how you can manage it.
