Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Delivers Relieving Spine Care often in Less Time, with Less Cost
How well do you understand your spine and what it requires? Does your physician? Does your insurance provider (ie, Medicare)? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation prides itself on understanding the spine of each of our Tonawanda chiropractic patients. Your Tonawanda chiropractor examines your low back when there is low back pain, your neck when there’s neck pain, your neck when you have arm pain, your low back when you have leg pain, your thoracic spine when there’s thoracic (and even neck and low back) pain. Your chiropractor knows your spine. Unfortunately, sometimes your insurer does not. The chiropractic profession endeavors to provide the research to the insurers to cover essential treatment for your spine while your Tonawanda chiropractor endeavors to communicate openly with your insurer for your best care and with you for your optimal clinical outcome: back pain relief, neck pain relief, arm pain relief, leg pain relief, etc.
YOUR INSURER
Administrators’ data doesn’t tell the whole story about back pain. In a study that compared self-reported low back pain to data collected by health groups that track low back pain via billing codes and the like discovered that these two sources don’t agree. Self-reported data about low back pain (21.2%) was greater than administration’s data (10.2%). Characteristics of low back pain patients founded on data varied in several areas – sex, health/behavior traits, and health care use – leading to an underestimated prevalence of low back pain. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows how prevalent back pain is and how it affects our back pain patients like you.
YOUR BACK PAIN
In a study that expressly examined one influence on back pain - spinal stiffness - from the subjective patient angle and the objective testing angle found that these two measures do not correlate well either. At least in this comparison, authentic input was from people: patients filling out questionnaires and doctors doing objective tests. These findings led the researchers to note that while these two sources do not correlate well, each is valuable in the whole general picture of the patient’s condition and care. (2) Your Tonawanda chiropractor uses this evidence to care for your spine.
YOUR CHIROPRACTOR
Your Tonawanda chiropractor is an evidence-based chiropractor. Evidence leads the spine relief treatment plan at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. A fascinating study of chiropractic students found that as each year of school passed they became less vitalistic and more evidence-based. (3) After 7 or so years in school, your chiropractor is ready to take care of Tonawanda back pain and neck pain patients. The evidence of useful chiropractic spine care keeps expanding! Researchers report today that the use of non-pharmacological pain management may inhibit unnecessary use of opioids. Chiropractic is one such non-drug pain management offering. In an analysis of 101,221 spine pain patients, 1.55 to 2.03 times more non-chiropractic patients filled an opioid prescription than chiropractic patients. (4) Further, Medicare beneficiary patients who use chiropractic are found to have higher clinical outcomes (faster recovery, fewer back surgeries 12 months later, less opioid-associated disability, fewer traumatic falls and injuries, slower declines in activities of daily living and disability over time) at less expense (fewer medical doctors visits for low back pain, less opioid expense, less back-surgery cost) with more satisfaction. (5) These are not bad trade-offs for the Medicare cost system and for the Medicare patient.
