Back pain isn’t inexpensive. With the cost of spine pain in the US estimated to be $134.5 billion (1), Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is fairly certain that our chiropractic patients would be happy with cost-effective care. A recent Canadian study of high-cost back pain patients in the healthcare system found that they accounted for almost 50% of the healthcare spending in a year. (2) Another paper reported results showing that spine-related pain patients who seek care from a chiropractor first also had reduced costs and healthcare services when compared to medical management. (1) We know our Manchester chiropractic patients would appreciate coordination of care whenever possible among their healthcare providers to receive the most economical and effective care.
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER
Healthcare professionals working together help patients dealing with Manchester 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. Eye-opening 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 administering treatment to patients for their pain relief.

Plus, less than 9% of the low back pain patients entered the chronic phase. (5) Chronic pain prevention is a worthy effort!
