564- Transforming Back Pain Pathways: Chiropractor-Led Triage in Neurosurgery Referrals
Today we dive into groundbreaking new research on the impact of chiropractors in spine triage roles, specifically what happens when chiropractors screen neurosurgical referrals. Tune in as we break down a recent randomized controlled trial from Quebec—where researchers found that nearly 80% of back pain referrals to spine surgeons were inappropriate, and that integrating chiropractic triage drastically improved patient satisfaction and reduced unnecessary wait times. Discover how this evidence supports redesigning patient pathways and why chiropractors are uniquely positioned to be the gateway for musculoskeletal care, helping patients access the right provider at the right time. Whether you’re passionate about better outcomes or building your referral network, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
