In the modern healthcare system of today, managing musculoskeletal conditions efficiently
is a top priority, particularly for
those dealing with chronic pain. Incorporating
chiropractic care into the treatment plans for these conditions
offers several benefits, including lowering
opioid dependence, lowering healthcare costs, and enriching
primary care of musculoskeletal pain. Hollstrom & Associates Inc lives this!
We are here for our Largo chiropractic community, offering gentle,
evidence-based Cox® Technic. Here, we will
explore these benefits via insights from three new research studies.
REDUCING OPIOID DEPENDENCE
One of the most substantial benefits of incorporating
chiropractic care into musculoskeletal treatment plans is the potential to reduce dependence on opioids. The
study by Emary et al. (1), titled "The impact of chiropractic care on
prescription opioid use for non-cancer spine pain," divulges
compelling data. The systematic review and meta-analysis
protocol proposes that chiropractic interventions can
significantly lower the need for opioid prescriptions.
This is key, as opioid addiction and misuse persist in being major public health concerns. By opting for Largo
chiropractic care, patients at Hollstrom & Associates Inc can realize effective
pain relief without the risks related to
long-term opioid use.
LOWERING HEALTHCARE COSTS
Another compelling reason to integrate
chiropractic care into musculoskeletal healthcare is its cost-effectiveness. According
to a retrospective cohort study by Trager et al. (2), titled "Impact
of Integrative Health and Medicine on Costs Associated with Adult Health System
Beneficiaries with Musculoskeletal Conditions," patients who received
integrative care, including chiropractic treatments, had
lower overall healthcare costs. The study highlights
that insurance plans paying for chiropractic care can lower
the financial burden on both patients and healthcare systems. This cost reduction
is ascribed to fewer surgical interventions, lower
hospital admissions, and less reliance on expensive medications.
ENHANCING PRIMARY CARE
Chiropractic care also plays a key role
in improving the quality of primary care for musculoskeletal
conditions. The study by Kopansky-Giles et al. (3),
"Enhancing comprehensive primary care by integrating chiropractic led
musculoskeletal care into interprofessional teams," underscores
the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. The study found
that when chiropractors are included in primary care teams,
patients experience better outcomes. This integration ensures that patients [obtain|receive]51] comprehensive care, attending
to not just symptoms but also the underlying
causes of their painful musculoskeletal conditions. This holistic approach precedes more effective and lasting pain management.
