Minster 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 optimal outcomes with chiropractic care. In Minster, access to chiropractic is straightforward. Minster Chiropractic Center invites back pain and neck pain sufferers to share their pain symptoms openly to foster 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 shown effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are acknowledged to be as effective for neck pain and back pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction of patients who either follow 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 throughout 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) Do not 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 do not have such access to chiropractic care are known to more frequently use some medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area with more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access to found that these patients wound up experiencing more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase of 32.3 visits more a year) and were more likely to have spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). 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
