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 becoming chronic, keeping it from
continuing to last over 3 months. Chiropractic care provides
spinal manipulation therapy which is reported to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and help coordination of care
with other health professionals to help our patients best.

SPINAL MANIPULATION LOWERS COST OF BACK PAIN CARE
Back pain is not cheap. With
the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1),
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is pretty sure that our chiropractic
patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A newer
Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system uncovered
that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a
year. (2) Another paper reported results revealing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor initially
also had lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Manchester
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare professionals to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help
patients suffering with Manchester back and other spine-related conditions. A study in South Africa looked at
the relationship and understanding of each other’s professions between
chiropractors and physiotherapists. Eye-opening
outcomes! Each profession assessed the other’s with regards
to what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Interprofessional referrals for chiropractors were 82% and 55% for
physiotherapists though 69% of chiropractors and 55% of physiotherapists wanted
to work together in administering treatment to
patients for their pain relief. (3) Your Manchester chiropractor
strives to keep our patients in
the center of a treatment plan
to lower their pain and healthcare usage.
SMT REDUCES PAIN OF BACK PAIN
For chronic low back pain patients, those whose pain lasts
over 3 months and usually leads to emotional distress and physical
disability and more healthcare usage, 12 sessions of
spinal manipulation delivered greater pain relief than a control
intervention. (4) Another study of 1000 low
back pain sufferers treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction protocols
also reported that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days produced
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back
pain patients continued to the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a worthy effort!
