Using Technology
In the realm of healthcare, we are seeing a dramatic transition towards the incorporation of technology in almost every facet of operations. Between applications of technology in administration, practice management, record keeping, and many more aspects or healthcare overall, it seems as if there are endless opportunities to use technology to streamline a certain process through technology.
Today, chiropractic care finds itself immersed in the world of technology with potentially more room for technological development coming as time passes on.
BWC Chiropractic has become technologically integrated in a variety of ways. Where chiropractors used to use strictly their hands to perform manual adjustments on the spine and extremities, we are now using technologically advanced instruments that are linked to computers, software, and other devices to achieve a high level of accuracy when performing adjustments.
In recordkeeping, chiropractic care clinics have fully fit electronic health records software, making patient records, treatment protocol, financial information, and everything else accessible from any computer or device in the entire practice. Even scheduling has evolved technologically, with chiropractic care facilities providing patients with online portals to schedule appointments rather than calling or stopping by to make an appointment.
Now that chiropractic professionals are understanding the importance of technology in their day-to-day operations, they are realizing just how much of a difference technology makes. With this realization, we can expect a growth in the use of technology in chiropractic care as well as continued innovation of all types of products, programs, and services that are designed specifically for this discipline of alternative medicine. While some doctors are concerned about certain tech developments in the health realm (think wearables and such), most innovations are being welcomed with open arms. As long as future tech can help the healing process, it can only be good for society.
Impulse Adjusting Instrument
Just as lasers have replaced scalpels in some surgeries, advanced technology has become available to chiropractors to assist in delivering chiropractic adjustments. This patented and FDA registered device was specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument® is controlled by micro-computer circuitry housed within the device that produces a controlled force that chiropractors can use to treat different areas of the body.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain, and headaches. Decompression Therapy effectively relieve pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromes by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning. Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle.
Physiotherapy
To complement and enhance the healing effects of adjustment treatment, Ward Chiropractic Center also provides a number of electrotherapy procedures, such as e-stim and ultrasound.
