Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the keys to favorable
outcomes with chiropractic care. In Toronto, access to chiropractic
is simple. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre invites back
pain and neck pain sufferers to describe 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 shown
effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for neck pain and
back pain relief. A recent study reports on the satisfaction
of patients who either adhere to the suggested
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described
as “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 frame or 12 visits in a year) who were also
further defined by other demographics were followed. Most
chiropractic users with diagnosed neck or back pain were said to be
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare costs
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Don’t allow

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic
care are found to more frequently use 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 which had less access
to found that these patients wound up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) 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). (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
is open here in Toronto to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What
you share with your Toronto chiropractor is important
to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors
found that chiropractors utilize patient documented
outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and gauge the treatment response of low
back pain patients. (3) Tell your Toronto chiropractic honestly how
you are feeling. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is listening!
