CIGNA Insurance Company Cancels Contract
The Mobile Chiro is no longer an "in-network" provider for CIGNA Insurance. As of April 1, 2011, Chiropractic services under CIGNA will be administered by American Specialty Health Network (ASHN). ASHN does not credential Chiropractors who provide the service of house calls. Despite the fact that our services ensure that patients receive the care they need, ASHN policies prohibit house calls for Chiropractic. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Douglas via email or phone.

Chiropractic Manipulation Best Option For Low Back Pain, According to Patient Survey
The Consumer Reports Health Rating Center released the survey results of more than 14,000 Americans in May 2009.
The
survey rated doctors of chiropractic as the top practitioner, with
survey respondents noting that they were more likely to be "highly
satisfied" with the care received from their doctor of chiropractic (59
percent) than their primary care physician (34 percent).
"For the
treatment of back pain, few options are better than chiropractic," says
ACA President Glenn Manceaux, DC. "As shown in this latest survey,
chiropractic spinal manipulation is an evidence-based and effective
treatment for low-back pain and other musculoskeletal injuries. Coupled
with the high-levels of patient satisfaction, patients should turn to
chiropractic as their first choice."
To compare which treatments
helped most, Consumer Reports asked its subscribers to rate a
comprehensive list of potential remedies along with their satisfaction
with the health care professionals they visited. Most survey respondents
had tried five or six different treatments on average, and many found
that their back pain interfered with their daily activities, including
sleep and their sex life.
Doctors of chiropractic provide
drug-free, non-invasive treatment options for many types of pain and
inflammation. For example, chronic back pain, neck pain, joint pain and
headaches can often be reduced with the appropriate combination of
chiropractic manipulation, rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle
counseling - all of which are offered by doctors of chiropractic in a
patient's personalized treatment plan.
A significant amount of
evidence has shown that the use of chiropractic care for certain
conditions can be more effective than traditional medical care, with
many patients feeling improvement shortly after their first chiropractic
visit.
