CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been proven
effective as many randomized clinical trials have been
completed. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction
of patients who either adhere to the suggested
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described
as “concordant” (5 or more visits during any 2-month time period
or at least 12 visits during the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more
visits in a 2-month time frame or 12 visits in a year) who were also
further defined by other demographics were followed. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were considered
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare bills
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Don’t allow

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic
care are known to more frequently utilize some
medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access
to found that these patients wound up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to get
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this decreased
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up higher
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (amounting to $391 million nationally). (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
is open here in Groton to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Groton chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient documented
outcome measures (PROMs) to guide the treatment plan
and determine the treatment response of low
back pain patients. (3) Tell your Groton chiropractic honestly what is going with you. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is listening!
