Most Chiropractic Clinic Delivers Relieving Spine Care often in Less Time, with Less Cost
How well do you know your spine and what it requires? Does your doctor? Does your insurance provider (ie, Medicare)? Most Chiropractic Clinic prides itself on understanding the spine of each of our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor examines your low back when there’s low back pain, your neck when there’s neck pain, your neck when there’s arm pain, your low back when there is leg pain, your thoracic spine when there’s thoracic (and even neck and low back) pain. Your chiropractor knows your spine. Unfortunately, sometimes your insurer does not. The chiropractic profession strives to deliver the research to the insurers to pay for essential treatment for your spine while your Murfreesboro chiropractor strives to communicate clearly with your insurer for your best care and with you for your best clinical outcome: relief of pain.
YOUR INSURER
Administrators’ data does not tell the whole story about back pain. In a study comparing self-reported low back pain to data assembled by health groups that track low back pain via billing codes and such found that these two groups do not agree. Self-reported data regarding low back pain (21.2%) was greater than administration’s data (10.2%). Characteristics of low back pain patients based on data varied in a few areas – sex, health/behavior traits, and health care use – leading to an underestimated prevalence of low back pain. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic knows how prevalent back pain is and how it affects our back pain patients like you.
YOUR BACK PAIN
In a study that expressly examined one influence on back pain - spinal stiffness - from the subjective patient angle and the objective testing angle revealed that these two measures do not correlate well either. At least in this comparison, authentic input was from people: patients filling out questionnaires and doctors doing objective tests. These findings directed the researchers to notice that while these two sources don’t correlate well, each is valuable in the overall picture of the patient’s condition and care. (2) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor uses this evidence to care for your spine.
YOUR CHIROPRACTOR
Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is an evidence-based chiropractor. Evidence leads the spine relief treatment plan at Most Chiropractic Clinic. A fascinating study of chiropractic students revealed how with each year of schooling the students became less vitalistic and more evidence-based. (3) After 7 or so years in school, your chiropractor is prepared to take care of Murfreesboro back pain and neck pain patients. The evidence of beneficial chiropractic spine care keeps expanding! Researchers write today that the use of non-pharmacological pain management may prevent unnecessary use of opioids. Chiropractic is one type of non-drug pain management offering. In an analysis of 101,221 spine pain patients, 1.55 to 2.03 times more non-chiropractic patients filled an opioid prescription than chiropractic patients. (4) Further, Medicare beneficiary patients who use chiropractic are shown to have better clinical outcomes (faster recovery, fewer back surgeries 12 months later, less opioid-linked disability, fewer traumatic falls and injuries, slower declines in activities of daily living and disability over time) at less expense (fewer medical doctors visits for low back pain, less opioid expense, less back-surgery cost) with higher levels of satisfaction. (5) These are not bad trade-offs for the Medicare cost system and for the Medicare patient.
