Chiropractic can help chronic
low back pain in pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first aims to stop
back pain from turning chronic, keeping it from
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care offers
spinal manipulation therapy which is documented to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and enhance coordination of care
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

chronic back pain patients economically using

SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t inexpensive. 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 appreciate cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported
that they accounted for almost 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper reported results revealing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor initially
also experienced lower 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 providers to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients dealing with Auburn 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. Interesting
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 collaborate in managing
patients for their pain relief. (3) We healthcare providers strive 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 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) Chronic pain
prevention is a worthy effort!
