reduction. Chiropractic care first works to prevent
back pain from turning chronic, limiting its
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care offers

with other health professionals to help our patients best.

SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t inexpensive. With
the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1),
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would welcome 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 showing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor initially
also had lower costs and healthcare services when
compared to medical management. (1) We know our Manahawkin
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare professionals to receive
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients dealing with Manahawkin 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. Eye-opening
outcomes! Each profession evaluated the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at helping neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Interprofessional referrals for chiropractors were 82% and 55% for
physiotherapists though 69% of chiropractors and 55% of physiotherapists wanted
to work together in administering treatment to
patients for their pain relief. (3) We healthcare providers strive to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to lower their pain and healthcare usage.
SMT REDUCES PAIN OF BACK PAIN
For chronic low back pain patients, those whose pain lasts
over 3 months that 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, fewer than 9% of the low back
pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain
prevention is a commendable effort!
