Chiropractic for chronic low back pain enhances pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first works to stop
back pain from becoming chronic, limiting its
lasting over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is documented to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and enhance coordination of care
with other colleagues to help our patients best.
Wilson Family Chiropractic facilitates the care of Millville
chronic back pain patients economically using
gentle, safe, research-documented protocols of the Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management. We’re here for
you!
SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain is not cheap. With
the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1),
Wilson Family Chiropractic is pretty sure that our chiropractic
patients would welcome cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported
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 had reduced costs and healthcare services when
compared to medical management. (1) We know our Millville
chiropractic patients would like coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare professionals to receive
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients suffering with Millville 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. Interesting
outcomes! Each profession evaluated the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Interprofessional referrals for chiropractors were 82% and 55% for
physiotherapists though 69% of chiropractors and 55% of physiotherapists wanted
to collaborate in administering treatment to
patients for their pain relief. (3) Your Millville chiropractor
strives to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to lower 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 usage, 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 delivered
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!
