Chiropractic can help chronic
low back pain in pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first strives to avert
back pain from becoming chronic, limiting its
lasting over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is documented to help ease
chronic low back pain and help cooperation
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

chronic back pain patients economically utilizing

System of Spinal Pain Management. We’re ready to help!
SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t cheap. With
the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1),
Back And Neck Care Center is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would welcome cost-effective care. A recent
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 initially
also had lower costs and healthcare services when
compared to medical management. (1) We know our Severna Park
chiropractic patients would like coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare professionals to receive
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients suffering with Severna Park back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa analyzed
the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between
chiropractors and physiotherapists. Interesting
outcomes! Each profession evaluated the other’s with regards
to what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at treating 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 strive to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to lower their pain and healthcare usage.
SMT REDUCES PAIN OF BACK PAIN
For chronic low back pain patients, those whose pain lasts
over 3 months and usually leads to emotional distress and physical
disability and more healthcare care, 12 sessions of
spinal manipulation offered greater pain relief than a control
intervention. (4) Another study of 1000 low
back pain sufferers treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction protocols
also reported 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 worthy effort!
