Chiropractic for chronic low back pain enhances pain relief, healthcare coordination, and in cost-of-care
reduction. Chiropractic care first aims to avert
back pain from turning chronic, limiting its
lasting over 3 months. Chiropractic care offers
spinal manipulation therapy which is shown to help alleviate
chronic low back pain and enhance cooperation
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 estimated to be $134.5 billion (1),
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is fairly certain 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 published results revealing
that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor initially
also experienced reduced costs and healthcare services compared with medical management. (1) We know our Groton
chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever
possible among their healthcare providers to get
the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together benefit
patients suffering with Groton 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. Fascinating
outcomes! Each profession assessed the other’s in terms of what conditions it treated, what modalities it utilized,
how well each did at helping 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 managing
patients for their pain relief. (3) Your Groton chiropractor
strives to keep our patients in
the center of the 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 that leads to emotional distress and physical
disability and more healthcare care, 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 delivered
maximum clinical improvement. Plus, less than 9% of the low back
pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Preventing chronic pain is a commendable effort!
