“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Tonawanda
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which Tonawanda chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Tonawanda chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
visited chiropractic. Though it was slightly below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) About 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for neck and back pain care. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the past
year. (2) That number is growing as more
people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
require a few visits to obtain relief. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A new study reported
that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain
patients’ function improved and back and neck pain reduced with
chiropractic care in 3 months. Those who reported
worse pain initially had more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were getting
better slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were potentially managing their chronic pain using
a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation: educate our Tonawanda back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 12 visits
and 29 days were the mean days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations did take a little
longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Tonawanda chronic back and neck
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they know
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has always presented
the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain
and back pain issues. It resonates with neck pain
and back pain sufferers who have looked
for care from so many different providers that they understand it. The 50% Rule
of Cox® Technic makes sense to them: 50% relief in 30 days or referral for
imaging or other consultation, 50% relief reduces the visit
frequency by 50%, 50% relief changes the treatment from Protocol I to Protocol
II, etc. The chiropractic care system of Cox® Technic follows an established algorithm
that provides patients realistic expectations.
