Richmond Chiropractic Care Works for Those Who Have Access and Use It

Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the ingredients to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In Richmond, access to chiropractic is straightforward. Johnson Chiropractic welcomes back pain and neck pain sufferers to share their pain symptoms openly 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 proven effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are acknowledged to be as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction of patients who either follow the recommended 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 frame 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 costs for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Don’t let physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to your visits! Make your visits.

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 conditions. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area with 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 (a rise of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to get 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) Johnson Chiropractic is open here in Richmond to relieve pain and save money on spine pain relief services.

YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER

An Australian study of chiropractors found that chiropractors use patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to guide the treatment plan and determine the treatment response of low back pain patients.
