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 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 during 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 considered
“discordant” with treatment frequency guidelines and their healthcare costs
for chiropractic care were only $434 versus $2555 for “concordant” patients. Physical
function issues played a role
among other items for these patients. (1) Don’t let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your appointments! Make your visits. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows the treatment plan with the Cox®

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic
care are known to more frequently use some
medical services for spine issues. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area which
had more access to chiropractic care to an area which had less access
to revealed that these patients ended up having
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to get
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this reduced
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up more
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (amounting to $391 million nationally). (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
is open here in Carrolltown to relieve pain and save money on spine pain

YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER

you share with your Carrolltown chiropractor is important

outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan
and gauge the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients. (3) Tell your Carrolltown chiropractic honestly how
