SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain is not cheap. With
the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1),
Most Chiropractic Clinic is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would welcome cost-effective care. A recent
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system uncovered
that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper reported results showing
that spine-related pain patients who see a chiropractor first
also experienced lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Murfreesboro
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare providers to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help
patients dealing with Murfreesboro back and other spine
pain conditions. A study in South Africa looked at
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) We healthcare providers want to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to reduce 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 care, 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 reported that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days produced
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back
pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain
prevention is a worthy effort!
