Complementary Alternative Medicine like Groton Chiropractic for Spine Pain Is Better and Less Expensive

The whole town is talking about reducing healthcare costs. You want to pay a reduced amount for your healthcare. Insurers want to pay less for healthcare. The future is going to lean on the evidence-based effects cataloged in studies like this one to help reduce healthcare costs.

We chiropractors have been shown to provide top-notch spinal pain, back pain, neck pain, leg pain and arm pain relief at a portion of the cost of surgical and other medical approaches. Indeed, costs were 40% less for back pain care started with a chiropractor than with a medical doctor. (1) The documented costs are $23,562 for medical care claims and only $2597 for chiropractic care claims. (2)

We chiropractors are considered to be a part of complementary alternative medicine (CAM). In spine care, though, we do provide 94% of all spinal manipulation. (3,4) So, are we chiropractors really CAM? Interesting question.

But anyway, Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office reduces pain efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Check out this study of over 12,000 neck and back pain patients (5):

1. Complementary alternative medicine care is better and less expensive than non-complementary alternative medicine care.
2. CAM users report better health, education and less co-morbidity than non-CAM users.
3. CAM users’ annual spine costs are $424 less than non-CAM users.
4. CAM users’ overall annual healthcare costs are $796 less than non-CAM users.
5. CAM users did not add to the overall medical spending.
