Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the keys to favorable
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Baton Rouge , access to chiropractic
is simple. Spine & Sports Rehab Center welcomes back
pain and neck pain patients to describe their pain
symptoms honestly to develop a pain relieving treatment
plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been proven
efficacious via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are established as effective for neck pain and
back 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 were said to be “concordant”
(5 or more visits within any 2-month time period or at least 12 visits throughout
the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more visits in a 2-month time frame
or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were said to be
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare bills
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues played a role
among other items for these patients. (1) Do not let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your visits! Make your visits. Spine & Sports Rehab Center knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most effective
for your condition. Talk with us about your concerns
with it. We will work together for your Baton Rouge
back pain and neck pain relief. In Baton Rouge , you have easy
access to quality chiropractic care at Spine & Sports Rehab Center.
ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic
care are seen to more frequently use some
medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access
to revealed that these patients ended up experiencing
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this decreased
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up more
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (amounting to $391 million nationally). (2) Spine & Sports Rehab Center
is open here in Baton Rouge to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Baton Rouge chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient reported
outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and gauge the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients. (3) Tell your Baton Rouge chiropractic honestly how
you are feeling. Spine & Sports Rehab Center is listening!
