Chiropractic Solutions Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A common question for your San Jose chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions follows an evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research that goes back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the system and its goals in which San Jose chiropractic patients can find calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
San Jose chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help. The latest study of who utilizes chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians utilized chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent! (1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic for back and neck pain management. 35 million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is expanding as more people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may require a few visits to obtain results. Chiropractic Solutions is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal outcome.
NEW RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A recent 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 90 days. 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 improving slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement, and were potentially managing their chronic pain with a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s our goal, too, at Chiropractic Solutions: educate our San Jose back pain and neck pain patients about how they can help 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 took a little longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Chiropractic Solutions shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
San Jose chronic back and neck pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic spine pain patients pursue pain management that they understand will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Chiropractic Solutions 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 pursued care from so many different healthcare professionals that they “get” 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 drops 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.
