Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Asks Back Pain Patients About Pain Relief Expectations
What do Tonawanda back pain sufferers desire when they seek Tonawanda back pain care? Back pain relief. How much Tonawanda back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage varies with the back pain patient’s experience and preceding care. First time back pain sufferers often expect 100%. A veteran back pain sufferer who has had a few back surgeries, numerous spinal injections, many doctors and therapists may well be delighted with 50% or even 30%. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation welcomes all these Tonawanda back pain patients and communicates what the spinal research literature reports as realistic outcomes of Tonawanda back pain treatment and specifically Tonawanda chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Tonawanda BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back pain treatment? 30% is said to be “clinically relevant.” (1) Is that enough for you? Medical literature characterizes the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the slightest change in status a patient sees as meaningful to him or her. That difference is defined as 30% improvement in self-reported pain or function as a result of a study of 743 patients. (2) In another study of 609 back-related leg pain and sciatica patients, good outcome is defined as 30% reduction in disability. 55% stated such improvement at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had spine surgery for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease for pain and disability reduction was met for 64% at 12 months post-surgery. However, satisfaction goes down as disability rises. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are shared with Tonawanda chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation when the treatment plan is established.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In going by the protocols of the chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation and fellow chiropractors who utilize it aim for 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and we chiropractors do not see this as too lofty a goal! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation see higher percentages of improvement for many Tonawanda back pain patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients comes in just a couple visits to a week or two, Tonawanda chiropractic treatment continues without a surgical consult or advanced imaging (except if progressive neurological deficits are seen or cauda equina is present). 50% relief is frequently a long-awaited relief for Tonawanda back pain patients looking for a return to a quality of life that is acceptable. This might include walking the dog or going to the mailbox. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation tries to help patients attain realistic and maintainable outcomes of care.
