Juneau Chiropractic Care Works for Those Who Have Access and Use It
Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the keys to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In Juneau, access to chiropractic is simple. Aurora Chiropractic Center welcomes back pain and neck pain patients to share their pain symptoms honestly to develop a pain relieving treatment plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown efficacious via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are established as effective for neck pain and back pain relief. A recent study reports on the satisfaction of patients who either follow the suggested treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described as “concordant” (5 or more visits within any 2-month time period or at least 12 visits during the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more visits in a 2-month time frame or 12 visits in a year) who were also further defined by other demographics were followed. Most chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were considered “discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare costs for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Don’t allow physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to your appointments! Make your visits.

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic care are known to more frequently use some medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area with more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access to revealed that these patients ended up experiencing more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase of 32.3 visits more a year) and were more likely to undergo spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this decreased access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up higher expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (amounting to $391 million nationally).
