011- Reduced Medication Use with Collaborative Care

Collaborative care in this study was defined as the use of chiropractic in addition to a primary care physician for patients with low back pain. Also, the researchers found 4 key attributes of a successful referral relationships between DC and MD. Dive in, learn more, and use this knowledge immediately in practice.
The Researchers Found:
“...evidence suggests that communication between chiropractors and physicians is limited, which may foster fragmentation of care and impact its continuity and quality.”
“Evidence also suggests that a multidisciplinary approach to chronic conditions improves patient outcomes and patient and provider satisfaction.”
“...the physician referred 61% of patients in the study group for chiropractic services compared to none in the pre-study group. The sex, age, and severity of pain of the study patients who were referred were similar to those who were not referred for chiropractic services.”
