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 neck pain and
back pain relief. A recent study describes the satisfaction
of patients who either follow the recommended
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients were said to be “concordant”
(5 or more visits within any 2-month time period or at least 12 visits throughout
the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more visits in a 2-month time period
or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. 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 played a role
among other items for these patients. (1) Don’t allow

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic
care are found to more frequently utilize some
medical services for spine conditions. 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 ended up experiencing
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 annum). 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 (amounting to $391 million nationally). (2) Disc Centers Of America
is open here in Buffalo, NY to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
