SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t cheap. With the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1), Aurora Chiropractic Center is fairly certain that our chiropractic patients would appreciate cost-effective care. A recent Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system found that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a year. (2) Another paper published results revealing that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first also had reduced costs and healthcare services when compared to medical management. (1) We know our Juneau chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever possible among their healthcare professionals to receive the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help patients dealing with Juneau back and other spine pain conditions. A study in South Africa analyzed the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between chiropractors and physiotherapists. Eye-opening outcomes! Each profession assessed the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized, how well each did at treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Interprofessional referrals for chiropractors were 82% and 55% for physiotherapists though 69% of chiropractors and 55% of physiotherapists wanted to work together in managing patients for their pain relief. (3) Your Juneau chiropractor strives to keep our patients in the center of a treatment plan to lower their pain and healthcare usage.
SMT REDUCES PAIN OF BACK PAIN
For chronic low back pain patients, those whose pain lasts over 3 months that leads to emotional distress and physical disability and more healthcare utilization, 12 sessions of spinal manipulation offered greater pain relief than a control intervention. (4) Another study of 1000 low back pain sufferers treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction protocols also showed that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days produced maximum clinical improvement. Plus, fewer than 9% of the low back pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a commendable effort!
