Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the keys to optimal
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Pensacola, access to chiropractic
is straightforward. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center welcomes back
pain and neck pain patients to share their pain
symptoms openly to foster 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 proven
effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are acknowledged
to be as effective for back and neck pain relief. A recent study reports on the satisfaction
of patients who either follow the recommended
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) Don’t let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your visits! Don’t skip your
appointments. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center knows the treatment plan with the Cox®
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management that is most beneficial
for your condition. Talk with us about your concerns
with the plan. We’ll work together for your Pensacola
back pain and neck pain relief. In Pensacola, you have open

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not 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 users who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area with less access
to revealed that these patients wound up experiencing
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise
of 32.3 visits more a year) 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 (equaling $391 million nationally). (2) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
is open here in Pensacola to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
Sharing everything about your back pain experience with your Pensacola chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient documented
outcome measures (PROMs) to guide the treatment plan
and gauge the treatment response of low
back pain patients. (3) Tell your Pensacola chiropractic honestly what is going with you. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is listening!
