SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t inexpensive. With the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1), OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is pretty sure that our chiropractic patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A newer Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a year. (2) Another paper published results showing that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor initially also had reduced costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our McHenry chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever possible among their healthcare professionals to get the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help patients dealing with McHenry back and other spine-related 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 evaluated the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it used, how well each did at helping 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 McHenry chiropractor strives 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 and usually leads to emotional distress and physical disability and more healthcare care, 12 sessions of spinal manipulation delivered 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, less than 9% of the low back pain patients continued to the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a commendable effort!
