Medicare Part B
The voluntary portion of Medicare, known as the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) Program, that includes physician's services, home health care, medical services, outpatient hospital services, and laboratory, pathology, and radiology services. All persons entitled to Medicare Part A may enroll in Medicare Part B on a monthly premium basis.
Complementary Therapies
Therapeutic practices which are not currently considered an integral part of conventional allopathic medical practice. They may lack biomedical explanations but as they become better researched some (PHYSICAL THERAPY MODALITIES; DIET; ACUPUNCTURE) become widely accepted whereas others (humors, radium therapy) quietly fade away, yet are important historical footnotes. Therapies are termed as Complementary when used in addition to conventional treatments and as Alternative when used instead of conventional treatment.

Small-Area Analysis
A method of analyzing the variation in utilization of health care in small geographic or demographic areas. It often studies, for example, the usage rates for a given service or procedure in several small areas, documenting the variation among the areas. By comparing high- and low-use areas, the analysis attempts to determine whether there is a pattern to such use and to identify variables that are associated with and contribute to the variation.

Manipulation, Orthopedic
The planned and carefully managed manual movement of the musculoskeletal system, extremities, and spine to produce increased motion. The term is sometimes used to denote a precise sequence of movements of a joint to determine the presence of disease or to reduce a dislocation. In the case of fractures, orthopedic manipulation can produce better position and alignment of the fracture. (From Blauvelt & Nelson, A Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology, 5th ed, p264)

Episode of Care
An interval of care by a health care facility or provider for a specific medical problem or condition. It may be continuous or it may consist of a series of intervals marked by one or more brief separations from care, and can also identify the sequence of care (e.g., emergency, inpatient, outpatient), thus serving as one measure of health care provided.
Health Care Costs
The actual costs of providing services related to the delivery of health care, including the costs of procedures, therapies, and medications. It is differentiated from HEALTH EXPENDITURES, which refers to the amount of money paid for the services, and from fees, which refers to the amount charged, regardless of cost.

Physical Therapy Modalities
A chiropractic service arrangement for musculoskeletal complaints in industry: a pilot study. (1/92)
Chiropractic services are commonly used by workers with musculoskeletal problems, especially low back and neck complaints. Research into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of this approach is, however, difficult to design without prior pilot studies. This study followed 32 workers with these complaints attending one such service and used five measures of outcome over a 6-month period. These measured pain (VAS), disability (FLP), quality of life (SF-36), perceived benefit and satisfaction with care. Additionally, sickness costs to the companies were recorded over two years encompassing the study period. Treatment utilization was also monitored. Over half the population were chronic sufferers. The effect sizes were large for pain and for seven out of eight dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire at 6-month follow-up, although not for disability (FLP). High levels of satisfaction and perceived improvement were reported and sickness costs to the companies fell. However, the sample size in this pilot study was small and did not include controls. We would, therefore, recommend a full cost-effectiveness study incorporating a randomized trial in this area. (+info)A new gatekeeper for back pain. (2/92)
Managed care programs have evolved in response to the escalating costs of healthcare in the United States. Expenses related to back pain represent a significant portion of these costs. Chiropractic physicians handle more back pain visits than do medical doctors and are playing an increasing role in the management of neuromusculoskeletal problems in general. Furthermore, chiropractic patients are more satisfied with their care than are patients of family physicians. A number of studies have shown chiropractic medicine to have high efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Its utilization for neuromusculoskeletal problems in the managed care setting may well offer competitive advantages. Using chiropractic physicians as gatekeepers for back pain would result in more expedient movement through the algorithmic process and facilitate treatment of the patient with acute back pain. Many medical facilities are enhancing their services by utilizing chiropractic physicians as gatekeepers for the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Paediatric use of complementary and alternative medicine is common and increasing, particularly for the sickest children. This review discusses the various options available including dietary supplements, hypnosis, massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture. (+info)Sinusitis in children: the importance of diagnosis and treatment. (4/92)
The complications from untreated sinusitis in a 10-month-old male infant, though at the more severe end of the spectrum, brings to light the importance of diagnosis and treatment even in the very young patient. Acute sinusitis should be diagnosed using established guidelines. Appropriate pharmacologic and osteopathic manipulative treatment should be initiated on diagnosis. Initial antibiotic therapy is a 14-day course of amoxicillin. If the sinusitis fails to resolve, a trial of a second-line antibiotic should be considered. The use of adjunctive medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal steroids remains controversial. If the patient fails maximal medical therapy, a computed tomography scan and referral to an otolaryngologist for possible surgical intervention should be considered. (+info)Characteristics, satisfaction, and perceptions of patients receiving ambulatory healthcare from osteopathic physicians: a comparative national survey. (5/92)
A national telephone survey was conducted in 1998 using random-digit dialing and the first Osteopathic Survey of Healthcare in America (OSTEOSURV-I) instrument to determine patients' satisfaction with their healthcare, as well as their perceptions of osteopathic medicine. Of the 1106 respondents, 243 (22.0%) had received medical care from an osteopathic physician, and another 307 (27.8%) claimed to be aware of osteopathic physicians. Patients of osteopathic physicians reported the highest levels of satisfaction in 8 of the 11 elements studied when compared with patients of allopathic physicians, chiropractors, and nonphysician clinicians other than chiropractors. Respondents perceived osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to be beneficial for musculoskeletal disorders (P < .001). In addition, respondents perceived that healthcare services provided by osteopathic physicians were similar to those provided by allopathic physicians (P < .001), but not to those provided by chiropractors (P = .01). A total of 97.9% of current patients of osteopathic physicians agreed with the statement that osteopathic physicians practiced in their local community, compared with 80.6% of former patients of osteopathic physicians and 67.8% of patients who had never visited osteopathic physicians (P < .001). In general, the most favorable perceptions of osteopathic medicine were reported by current patients of osteopathic physicians, followed by former patients of such physicians. The least favorable perceptions came from patients who had never been patients of osteopathic physicians. The perception that OMT should be covered by health insurance was significantly associated with the use of osteopathic physicians (odds ratio, 3.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 6.7, among patients who had ever been to an osteopathic physician). The results of our survey suggest that greater access to osteopathic services, including OMT, is desirable and that promotional efforts aimed at encouraging the use of osteopathic medical services among the general population are warranted. (+info)Attitudes toward vaccination: a survey of Canadian chiropractic students. (6/92)
BACKGROUND: Although the Canadian Chiropractic Association and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) endorse vaccination, the prevalence of anti-vaccination attitudes among Canadian chiropractors is unknown. This study describes the prevalence of anti-vaccination attitudes among Canadian chiropractic students. METHODS: An 11-item questionnaire about attitudes toward vaccination was distributed to students enrolled at CMCC during the 1999/2000 academic year. The responses for the 11 items were then summed to arrive at a total score ranging from 0 (most negative attitude toward vaccination) to 22 (most positive attitude toward vaccination). Respondents' perceptions of sources of vaccine information were also investigated. RESULTS: Over 75% of the students (467 of 621) completed the questionnaire. Most students (53.3%) reported that in general they agreed with vaccination. This was especially true among first-year students (60.7%). However, among fourth year students, only 39.5% agreed with vaccination. The proportion of respondents who stated that they were against vaccination in general was 5 (4.5%) of 112 first-year students, 10 (8.3%) of 121 second-year students, 16 (13.9%) of 115 third-year students and 35 (29.4%) of 119 fourth-year students. The mean scores on the questionnaire were progressively lower with each higher year of study at the College. The mean survey scores for each year of study were first year, 15.9 (95% confidence interval [CI] 15.2-16.6); second year, 16.1 (95% CI 15.3-1 7.0); third year, 14.5 (95% CI 13.5-15.4); and fourth year, 12.8 (95% CI 11.7-13.9). The mean scores varied among year of study and were statistically significant using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.0001). Among students who relied primarily on informal sources of vaccine information, such as the chiropractic literature and informal talks at CMCC, anti-vaccination attitudes were more prevalent in later years. INTERPRETATION: Most CMCC students reported pro-vaccination attitudes, but there appeared to be an increase in anti-vaccination attitudes as students progressed through the CMCC program. This pattern was seen almost exclusively among students who relied primarily on informal sources of vaccine information rather than on core CMCC lectures or prior lectures at university. (+info)Chiropractic and medical care costs of low back care: results from a practice-based observational study. (7/92)
OBJECTIVE: To compare the 1-year costs for patients treated for acute and chronic ambulatory low back pain by medical physicians and chiropractors. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, practice-based observational study undertaken in 13 general medical practices and 51 chiropractic community-based clinics. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of 2872 study patients, 2263 had complete 1-year records of services. Service data, collected from billing records, chart audits, and provider questionnaires, were assigned relative value units that were converted into 1995 dollar costs. Prescription drug costs for medical patients were included. Patient data on health status, pain and disability, and socioeconomic characteristics were obtained from self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: The direct office costs of treating both chiropractic and medical patients over a 1-year period were relatively small. Forty-three percent of chiropractic patients and 57% of medical patients incurred costs of less than $100. However, the mean costs associated with chiropractic patients ($214) were significantly higher than those for medical patients ($123), especially when compared with medical patients who were not referred for further treatment or evaluation ($103). Chiropractic patients had somewhat lower baseline levels of pain and disability than nonreferred medical patients, but the 2 groups were relatively similar on most patient characteristics. There also were no statistically significant differences in the improvements in pain and disability between these 2 groups of patients. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that patients treated in chiropractic clinics incur higher costs over a 1-year period, but have about the same degree of relief as nonreferred patients treated in medical clinics. (+info)Comparing the satisfaction of low back pain patients randomized to receive medical or chiropractic care: results from the UCLA low-back pain study. (8/92)
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the difference in satisfaction between patients assigned to chiropractic vs medical care for treatment of low back pain in a managed care organization. METHODS: Satisfaction scores (on a 10-50 scale) after 4 weeks of follow-up were compared among 672 patients randomized to receive medical or chiropractic care. RESULTS: The mean satisfaction score for chiropractic patients was greater than the score for medical patients (crude difference = 5.5; 95% confidence interval = 4.5, 6.5). Self-care advice and explanation of treatment predicted satisfaction and reduced the estimated difference between chiropractic and medical patients' satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Communication of advice and information to patients with low back pain increases their satisfaction with providers and accounts for much of the difference between chiropractic and medical patients' satisfaction. (+info)Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine, through manual manipulation and other non-invasive techniques.
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques, including manual manipulation of the spine and other joints, to help alleviate pain and improve function. They also may provide advice on lifestyle changes, such as exercise and diet, to help prevent future problems. Chiropractic is often used in conjunction with other medical treatments, and chiropractors work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
Complementary therapies are non-conventional treatments used in conjunction with conventional medical care to alleviate symptoms and improve overall health.
Complementary therapies are a diverse range of non-conventional medical treatments that are used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments to enhance their effectiveness or to manage symptoms. These therapies are not considered a substitute for conventional medical treatments, but rather as a complementary approach to healthcare. Complementary therapies can include a wide range of practices such as acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy. These therapies are often used to manage chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and other conditions that may not respond well to conventional medical treatments. The use of complementary therapies is becoming increasingly popular in the medical field, as more and more people are seeking alternative ways to manage their health and well-being. However, it is important to note that not all complementary therapies are supported by scientific evidence, and some may even be harmful if used improperly. Therefore, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any complementary therapy.
Back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by discomfort or pain in the back region, which may vary in intensity and duration.
Back pain is a common condition that affects the muscles, ligaments, bones, and nerves of the back. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp stabbing pain, and can be felt in the neck, upper back, lower back, or anywhere along the spine. Back pain can be acute, meaning it lasts for a short period of time (usually less than 12 weeks), or chronic, meaning it persists for more than 12 weeks. Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and infections. It can also be caused by poor posture, obesity, smoking, and certain medical conditions such as kidney stones or pregnancy. Treatment for back pain depends on the underlying cause and severity of the pain. It may include over-the-counter pain medication, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause of the back pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by pain in the lower part of the back, which can range from mild to severe and may be acute or chronic.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common condition that affects the lower part of the back, including the lumbar spine, sacrum, and coccyx. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp stabbing pain, and can be either acute or chronic. Acute low back pain is typically short-lived and lasts for a few days to a few weeks. It is often caused by a specific event, such as lifting a heavy object or twisting the back. Chronic low back pain, on the other hand, lasts for more than 12 weeks and can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, poor posture, and underlying medical conditions. Low back pain can be classified based on its location, severity, and duration. It can also be associated with other symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs, which can indicate a more serious underlying condition. Treatment for low back pain depends on the underlying cause and severity of the pain. It may include medication, physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle changes. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat more severe cases of low back pain.
Neck pain is a common condition characterized by discomfort or pain in the neck region, which can be caused by various factors such as muscle strain, herniated discs, or arthritis.
Neck pain is a common condition that affects the muscles, bones, ligaments, and nerves in the neck. It can range from a mild discomfort to severe pain that limits mobility and daily activities. Neck pain can be acute, meaning it lasts for a short period of time, or chronic, meaning it persists for more than 12 weeks. Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, muscle strain, whiplash, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, and cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck). Other potential causes of neck pain include infections, tumors, and injuries. Symptoms of neck pain may include stiffness, tenderness, and soreness in the neck, headaches, dizziness, numbness or tingling in the arms or hands, and difficulty moving the neck. Treatment for neck pain may include pain medication, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if neck pain is severe or persistent, as it can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.
