Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the ingredients to optimal
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Fort Wayne, access to chiropractic
is simple. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic welcomes back
pain and neck pain patients to describe their pain
symptoms openly to foster a pain relieving treatment
plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown
effective as many randomized clinical trials have been
completed. Chiropractic services are established as effective for back and neck pain relief. A recent study describes the satisfaction
of patients who either adhere to 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 considered
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare bills
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Do not let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your appointments! Make your visits. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most effective
for your spine pain issue. Talk with us about your concerns
with the plan. We will work together for your Fort Wayne
back pain and neck pain relief. In Fort Wayne, you have open
access to quality chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic.
ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic
care are seen 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 found that these patients wound up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have
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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
is open here in Fort Wayne to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Fort Wayne chiropractor is crucial
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors use patient reported
outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and determine the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients. (3) Tell your Fort Wayne chiropractic honestly what is going with you. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is listening!
