The Palmer Chiropractic Clinics affiliated with all three of Palmer's campuses have received Recognition from the Back Pain Recognition Program of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in Washington, D.C.
To receive this prestigious national recognition, the Palmer Chiropractic Clinics were required to pass a rigorous, comprehensive review of several key clinical measures demonstrating quality healthcare delivery and service in caring for patients with low back pain. These measures include appropriate imaging for acute back pain, recommendations for exercise and attention to health risk factors, among many others.
Why people choose chiropractic
In the United States, people looking for natural forms of healing often choose chiropractic over other types of complementary health care. The examination of the spine to evaluate structure and function is what makes chiropractic different from other healthcare procedures. Accidents, falls, stress, tension, overexertion and countless other factors can result in misalignments of the spine, causing irritation to spinal nerve roots. Chiropractic techniques can reduce or eliminate this irritation to spinal nerves, causing your body to function more efficiently and more comfortably.
Preventive health care
Chiropractors place an emphasis on nutritional and exercise programs, as well as wellness and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical and mental health. While chiropractors use no drugs or surgery, they do refer patients for medical care when interventions are indicated. In fact, chiropractors, medical doctors, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals now work as partners in occupational health, sports medicine and a wide variety of other rehabilitation practices.
