reduction. Chiropractic care first works to stop
back pain from becoming chronic, limiting its
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care offers

with other health professionals to help our patients best.

SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t inexpensive. With
the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1),
Hollstrom & Associates Inc is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system found
that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper reported results showing
that spine-related pain patients who see a chiropractor first
also experienced lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Largo
chiropractic patients would like 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 help
patients suffering with Largo back and other spine
pain conditions. A study in South Africa evaluated
the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between
chiropractors and physiotherapists. Fascinating
outcomes! Each profession evaluated the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at helping neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Interprofessional referrals for chiropractors were 82% and 55% for
physiotherapists though 69% of chiropractors and 55% of physiotherapists wanted
to work together in managing
patients for their pain relief. (3) We healthcare providers strive to keep our patients in
the center of the treatment plan
to reduce 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 offered greater pain relief than a control
intervention. (4) Another study of 1000 low
back pain sufferers treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction protocols
also reported that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days produced
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, fewer than 9% of the low back
pain patients continued to the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain
prevention is a commendable effort!
