The Pure HealthyBack Program is a patient-centric approach to healthcare delivery and true payment reform that places a keen focus on quality care, measurable health outcomes, and cost savings over the life of the patient, thus effectively managing the condition with long-term value in mind. Its viable non-surgical treatment helps patients resolve chronic neck and back pain - ailments that cost the U.S. healthcare system as much as $100 billion each year and afflict an estimated 80% of all adult Americans. The program is designed to provide care based on the needs of the patient, not the system - ultimately avoiding costly and unnecessary treatments and procedures, drastically cutting the costs of claims, improving patient satisfaction and quality of life, eliminating unnecessary spinal surgeries, and reducing utilization rates.
