With the cost of spine pain in the US valued to be $134.5 billion (1), Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is pretty sure that our chiropractic patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A recent Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system found that they accounted for nearly 50% of the healthcare spending in a year. (2) Another paper reported results showing that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first also experienced lower costs and healthcare services compared with medical management.

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 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 showed that a mean of 12 visits in 29 days delivered maximum clinical improvement. Plus, fewer than 9% of the low back pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain prevention is a commendable effort!
