Erase My Back Pain
by Alisa lisa Sophia (2019-05-23)
Most mainstream, responsible health insurance Erase My Back Pain policies have approved coverage of chiropractic treatment for many years. The plans vary in degree of coverage per insurance company. When you go to the chiropractor for your initial visit, be certain to take your insurance card with you and your chiropractor and his staff can check with your insurance plan to verify exactly what your coverage is. Also those who are injured in an automobile accident have coverage for chiropractic care in their policies in most states, including Pennsylvania. Research studies show chiropractic to be cost-effective, and high in patient satisfaction A research study in Oregon showed chiropractic treatment helped people who are unable to work due to low back injury to get back to work in a third of the time of medical treatment (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics). A study in Utah showed medical treatment cost 10 times the amount of chiropractic care for lower back pain (Journal of Occupational Medicine). Another study in 2005 showed that chiropractic care for low back and neck pain resulted in a reduction in the rates of surgery, advanced imaging, in-patient care and x-rays (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics). Another study showed patients utilizing a chiropractor as a healthcare provider required 50% fewer drugs and pharmaceuticals and had a 50% fewer days spent in the hospital (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics). Finally, chiropractic patients found more satisfaction with their treatment than patients who received medical care or physical therapy (American Journal of Public Health) A recommendation (certification) consists of a doctor's written statement that marijuana would be medically beneficial for the patient's debilitating condition. It is not a marijuana prescription, as a prescription is legally defined as a written order to a licensed pharmacist to supply the drug. Marijuana prescriptions are impossible due to prescription drugs being subjected to extensive federal regulation. This was the problem with Arizona's initial 1996 approval, Prop 200. It was worded so as to require patients seeking marijuana to obtain two "prescriptions". Because of that, the law was effectively dead.
