Elgin 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 keys to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In Elgin, access to chiropractic is straightforward. Connected Chiropractic invites back pain and neck pain patients to describe their pain symptoms openly to develop a pain relieving treatment plan to which they can they can agree.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction of patients who either adhere to the suggested 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 during the year) or “discordant” (not having 5 or more visits in a 2-month time frame or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. 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) Don’t let physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making your visits! Make your visits.

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic care are seen to more frequently use some medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care recipients 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 a year) and were more likely to undergo spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this decreased access to chiropractic care for spine issues resulted in more expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (amounting to $391 million nationally).

YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
Sharing everything about your back pain experience with your Elgin chiropractor is crucial to your pain-relieving treatment plan.
