Oxford Chiropractic Care Works for Those Who Have Access and Use It
Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the keys to optimal outcomes with chiropractic care. In Oxford, access to chiropractic is straightforward. Satterwhite Chiropractic invites back pain and neck pain patients to share their pain symptoms honestly to develop a pain relieving treatment plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been proven efficacious via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are established as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study reports on the satisfaction of patients who either adhere to 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 during 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 considered “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) Do not let physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making your appointments!

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic care are seen to more frequently use some medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care recipients who moved geographically from an area with more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access to found that these patients ended up experiencing more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase of 32.3 visits more a year) and were more likely to get spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this reduced access to chiropractic care for spine issues resulted in higher expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (amounting to $391 million nationally).

YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What you share with your Oxford chiropractor is crucial to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors found that chiropractors utilize patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan and evaluate the treatment response of low back pain patients.
