“How many times do I have to
see you, 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. Recent research confirms the
system and its goals in which San Jose chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
San Jose chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
utilized chiropractic. Though it was very lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(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 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
take a few visits to obtain relief. Chiropractic Solutions
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 recent study found
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 went for more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic neck and back pain patients were getting
better slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain using
a range 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 support themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 29
days and 12 visits were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a bit
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Chiropractic Solutions
presents statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
San Jose chronic neck and back
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they understand
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Chiropractic Solutions has always presented
the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain
and back pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have looked
for care from a variety of different providers 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 decreases 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.
