Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the ingredients to optimal outcomes with chiropractic care. In Carrolltown, access to chiropractic is easy. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation welcomes back pain and neck pain patients to share their pain symptoms honestly to foster a pain relieving treatment plan to which they can they can agree.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown effective as many randomized clinical trials have been completed. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for neck pain and back pain relief. A recent study reports on the satisfaction of patients who either follow the suggested 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 throughout 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 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 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 do not 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 wound up having more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase of 32.3 visits more a year) and were more likely to have spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). 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).
