Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the keys to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In Largo, access to chiropractic is simple. Hollstrom & Associates Inc welcomes back pain and neck pain sufferers 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 shown efficacious via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are acknowledged to be as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction of patients who either follow the suggested treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described as “concordant” (5 or more visits within 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 period 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 costs for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical function issues played a role among other items for these patients. (1) Don’t allow physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to your appointments! Make your visits.

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic care are known to more frequently use some medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area with more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access to found that these patients ended up having more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to undergo spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this reduced access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up more expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (equaling $391 million nationally).
