West Des Moines Chiropractic Care Works for Those Who Have Access and Use It
Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access to the plan. These are the ingredients to favorable outcomes with chiropractic care. In West Des Moines, access to chiropractic is simple. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa invites back pain and neck pain patients to describe their pain symptoms honestly to foster a pain relieving treatment plan which they will follow.
CONCORDANCE IS A BIG KEY TO BEST CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chiropractic services for neck and back pain have been shown efficacious via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for neck pain and back pain relief. A new study describes the satisfaction of patients who either follow the recommended 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 bills 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 coming to your appointments!

ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES
Older adults who don’t have such access to chiropractic care are seen to more frequently use some medical services for spine conditions. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care users who moved geographically from an area with 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 get spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this decreased access to chiropractic care for spine issues resulted in higher expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (amounting to $391 million nationally).
