Richmond 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 ingredients to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In Richmond, access to chiropractic is simple. Johnson Chiropractic welcomes 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 as many randomized clinical trials have been completed. Chiropractic services are acknowledged to be as effective for back and neck pain relief. A recent study describes the satisfaction of patients who either adhere to the recommended 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 bills 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 coming to your visits! Make your visits.

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who do not have such access to chiropractic care are seen to more frequently utilize 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 with less access to revealed that these patients wound up having more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (a rise of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to have spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this decreased access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up more expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (equaling $391 million nationally).

YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
