Chiropractic can help chronic
low back pain in pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first works to prevent
back pain from turning chronic, keeping it from
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care offers
spinal manipulation therapy which is shown to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and help coordination of care
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain is not inexpensive. With
the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1),
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would welcome cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system uncovered
that they accounted for almost 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper published results showing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first
also had lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Tonawanda
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare providers to receive
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help
patients dealing with Tonawanda back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa evaluated
the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between
chiropractors and physiotherapists. Eye-opening
outcomes! Each profession assessed the other’s with regards
to what conditions it treated, what modalities it used,
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 collaborate in administering treatment to
patients for their pain relief. (3) We healthcare providers want to keep our patients in
the center of a 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 delivered greater pain relief than a control
intervention. (4) Another study of 1000 low
back pain sufferers treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction protocols
also showed 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) Preventing chronic pain is a commendable effort!
