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.

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).
