Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the ingredients to favorable
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Ashburn, access to chiropractic
is straightforward. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn welcomes back
pain and neck pain patients to describe 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
efficacious as many randomized clinical trials have been
completed. 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 proposed
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 period
or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were considered
“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! Don’t skip your
appointments. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most beneficial
for your spine pain issue. Talk with us about your concerns
with it. We will work together for your Ashburn
back pain and neck pain relief. In Ashburn, you have easy
access to quality chiropractic care at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic
care are found to more frequently utilize some
medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access
to found that these patients ended up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have
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). (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
is open here in Ashburn to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Ashburn chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient reported
outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and evaluate the treatment response of low
back pain patients. (3) Tell your Ashburn chiropractic honestly what is going with you. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is listening!
