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), Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 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 first also had reduced costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Auburn 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 Auburn back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa looked at the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between chiropractors and physiotherapists. Fascinating outcomes! Each profession assessed 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 Auburn 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 and usually leads to emotional distress and physical disability and more healthcare utilization, 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 delivered maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a worthy effort!
