Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the keys to favorable
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Oxford, access to chiropractic
is simple. Satterwhite Chiropractic invites back
pain and neck pain sufferers to share their pain
symptoms honestly to develop 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 proposed
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described
as “concordant” (5 or more visits during any 2-month time period
or at least 12 visits during the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more
visits in a 2-month time period or 12 visits in a year) who were also
further defined by other demographics were followed. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were said to be
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare bills
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues played a role
among other items for these patients. (1) Do not allow
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to
your visits! Don’t skip your
appointments. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most effective

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic
care are known to more frequently use some
medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access
to revealed that these patients wound up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this reduced
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up higher
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (equaling $391 million nationally). (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic
is open here in Oxford to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
Sharing everything about your back pain experience with your Oxford chiropractor is crucial
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient documented
outcome measures (PROMs) to guide the treatment plan
and determine the treatment response of low
back pain patients. (3) Tell your Oxford chiropractic honestly how
you are feeling. Satterwhite Chiropractic is listening!
