Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the ingredients to optimal
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Burlington and Hamilton, access to chiropractic
is easy. Spinal Care Clinic invites back
pain and neck pain sufferers to describe their pain
symptoms openly 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 accepted as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction
of patients who either adhere to the proposed
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 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 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) Do not let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your appointments! Don’t skip your
appointments. Spinal Care Clinic knows the treatment plan with the Cox®

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic
care are known to more frequently use some
medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access
to revealed that these patients wound up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise
of 32.3 visits more a year) and were more likely to get
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this decreased
access to chiropractic care for spine issues resulted in more
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (amounting to $391 million nationally). (2) Spinal Care Clinic
is open here in Burlington and Hamilton to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.

back pain patients. (3) Tell your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic honestly how
