Access and concordance. Agreement with the plan and access
to the plan. These are the keys to favorable
outcomes with chiropractic care. In West Des Moines, access to chiropractic
is straightforward. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa invites back
pain and neck pain sufferers to describe their pain
symptoms openly 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
effective via many randomized controlled trials. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for back and neck pain relief. A new study reports on the satisfaction
of patients who either follow the suggested
treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients described
as “concordant” (5 or more visits within 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 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) Don’t let
physical function make you discordant or hold you back from making
your appointments! Don’t skip your
appointments. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows the treatment plan with the Cox®

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 conditions. Medicare data of 39,278
chiropractic care recipients 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 experiencing
more visits to primary care physicians for spine issues (an increase
of 32.3 visits more annually) and were more likely to undergo
spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per annum). Financially, this reduced
access to chiropractic care for spine issues ended up higher
expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical
services (equaling $391 million nationally). (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
is open here in West Des Moines to relieve pain and save money on spine pain
relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER

back pain patients. (3) Tell your West Des Moines chiropractic honestly how
