Williamson 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 keys to optimal outcomes with chiropractic care. In Williamson, access to chiropractic is easy. Apple Country Chiropractic invites back pain and neck pain patients to share 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 proven effective as many randomized clinical trials have been completed. Chiropractic services are accepted as effective for back and neck pain relief. A recent study describes the satisfaction of patients who either follow the recommended treatment frequency guidelines or do not. Neck pain and back pain patients were said to be “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 period or 12 visits in a year) and their characteristics were documented. 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 influenced the discordant patients’ outcomes. (1) Do not let physical function make you discordant or hold you back from coming to your visits! Make your visits.

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 issues. Medicare data of 39,278 chiropractic care users 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 a year) and were more likely to have spinal surgery (5.5 more surgeries per year). Financially, this decreased access to chiropractic care for spine issues resulted in more expense to Medicare: an extra $114,967 per 1,000 beneficiaries on medical services (equaling $391 million nationally). (2) Apple Country Chiropractic is open here in Williamson to relieve pain and save money on spine pain relief services.
YOU AND YOUR INPUT MATTER
What you share with your Williamson chiropractor is crucial to your pain-relieving treatment plan. An Australian study of chiropractors found that chiropractors use patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to formulate and adjust the treatment plan and evaluate the treatment response of lumbar spine pain patients.
