Local Chiropractic Doctor Promotes Cooperative Spine Care

February 25, 2011   Lawndale, California - Dr. Dao Tran, Chiropractor and Wellness Expert, of South Bay Pain and Rehab Center has been accepted as a member to the American Academy of Spine Physicians (AASP).  The AASP has reviewed Dr. Dao Tran’s credentials and has granted membership with the Academy.  The AASP is a prestigious organization comprised of healthcare professionals committed to improving the quality of spine care through cooperative and conservative efforts.

The primary mission of the AASP is to improve the quality of spine care through open dialogue, continuing education, clinical interaction between neurosurgeons and chiropractic physicians and by promoting a patient’s right to be informed of therapeutic options.  As a member of the organization, Dr. Dao Tran is dedicated to placing the needs of the patient first, while promoting comprehensive and cost-efficient spine care.

“Back pain is one of the most common disorders encountered in health care practice”, commented Dr. Dao Tran. “It often ranks as one of the top reasons for employee absenteeism and afflicts approximately eight of every ten Americans during their lifetime.  The AASP is preparing its members to meet these growing concerns at all levels.”

Cooperative interdisciplinary efforts between chiropractic physicians and neurosurgeons will promote early detection, timely intervention and improved continuity of care.  Additionally, a broadened scope of preventative, rehabilitative and minimally invasive approaches will reduce the impact of spine-related disability.
