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), Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is fairly certain that our chiropractic patients would appreciate cost-effective care. A recent Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a year. (2) Another paper reported results revealing that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first also had reduced costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever possible among their healthcare providers to get the most economical and effective care.

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.

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 usage, 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 produced maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain prevention is a commendable effort!
