Chiropractic can help chronic
low back pain in pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first works to stop
back pain from turning chronic, limiting its
lasting over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is reported to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and enhance coordination of care
with other colleagues to help our patients best.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre facilitates the care of Toronto
chronic back pain patients economically utilizing
gentle, safe, research-recorded protocols of the Cox® Technic
System of Spinal Pain Management. We are here to help!
SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain isn’t cheap. With
the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1),
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is fairly certain that our chiropractic
patients would appreciate cost-effective care. A recent
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system reported
that they accounted for almost 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper reported results revealing
that spine-related pain patients who see a chiropractor first
also experienced reduced costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Toronto
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare providers to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients suffering with Toronto back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa evaluated
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 collaborate in managing
patients for their pain relief. (3) Your Toronto chiropractor
strives to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to reduce 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 utilization, 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 delivered
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back
pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a commendable effort!
