Best to See Your San Jose Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a common question Chiropractic Solutions responds to when San Jose folks talk about chiropractic. San Jose chiropractic patients are a diverse group. Some San Jose chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some San Jose chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates (though keeping on the at-home care program that incorporates lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some San Jose chiropractic patients find that making a San Jose chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is reached benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when reminded to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Chiropractic Solutions appreciates every San Jose chiropractic patient who trusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this San Jose chiropractic practice.
Now, just how frequently a San Jose chiropractic patient can benefit from San Jose chiropractic care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic low back pain patients. Chiropractic Solutions presents 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. In the end, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most promising 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 Solutions uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported about other specific spinal conditions the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits Chiropractic Solutions to really help our San Jose back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with San Jose chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes changes 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 recorded 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 particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. There is a difference in treating a disc herniation versus a sprain understandably. One is more challenging than the other. 91% of patients discovered low back and leg pain relief on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal pain, a San Jose chiropractic treatment plan can be planned for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted. Chiropractic Solutions is always ready to help!
