reduction. Chiropractic care first works to avert
back pain from turning chronic, keeping it from
lasting over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is documented to help ease
chronic low back pain and help coordination of care
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

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),
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is pretty sure that our chiropractic
patients would welcome cost-effective care. A newer
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 revealing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first
also had lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our McHenry
chiropractic patients would like coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare professionals to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients dealing with McHenry back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa looked at
the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between
chiropractors and physiotherapists. Fascinating
outcomes! Each profession assessed 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 collaborate in managing
patients for their pain relief. (3) We healthcare providers strive to keep our patients in
the center of the treatment plan
to reduce 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 showed that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days delivered
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, fewer than 9% of the low back
pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain
prevention is a worthy effort!
