Chiropractic for chronic low back pain enhances pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first strives to avert
back pain from becoming chronic, keeping it from
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is shown to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and enhance coordination of care
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

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),
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is pretty sure that our chiropractic
patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported
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 see a chiropractor initially
also had lower costs and healthcare services when
compared to medical management. (1) We know our Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare providers to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients suffering with Fort Wayne 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. Fascinating
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 work together in managing
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 delivered
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!
