Best to See Your Tonawanda Chiropractor As Long As You Need

December 26, 2017

“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a usual question Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation hears when Tonawanda folks talk about chiropractic. Tonawanda chiropractic patients are a mixed lot. Some Tonawanda chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Tonawanda chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates (though following closely the at-home care program that incorporates lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Tonawanda chiropractic patients find that making a Tonawanda chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is attained benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is grateful for every Tonawanda chiropractic patient who trusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Tonawanda chiropractic practice.

OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN 

Now, just how often a Tonawanda chiropractic patient can gain from Tonawanda chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation shares a new project in which chronic low back pain patients were treated three times a week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with light massage; some not treatment at all. Finally, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most favorable results for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, the 18 visits patients showed greatest outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported about other specific spinal issues the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to really help our Tonawanda back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Tonawanda chiropractic care.

NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION 

The number of visits for low back pain episodes varies often with the underlying cause of the back pain episode. A study from 30 chiropractic clinics’ chiropractic care with flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic) gathered data on 1000 back pain patients. It documented the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Overall, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One is more challenging  than the other. 91% of patients found low back and leg pain relief on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
