CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown
effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are acknowledged
to be as effective for neck pain and
back pain relief. A new study reports on the satisfaction
of patients who either adhere to 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 said to be
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare costs
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Do not allow

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 with more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access
to revealed that these patients ended 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 have
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). 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) Minster Chiropractic Center
is open here in Minster to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER

you share with your Minster chiropractor is important

outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and evaluate the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients. (3) Tell your Minster chiropractic honestly how
