What do Fort Wayne back pain sufferers want
when they seek Fort Wayne back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Fort Wayne back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage differs
with the back pain patient’s experience and past care. First
time back pain sufferers often expect 100%. A veteran back pain
sufferer who has experienced a couple
back surgeries, some spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be delighted with 50% or even 30%. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
welcomes all these Fort Wayne back pain patients and communicates
what the spinal research literature documents as realistic
outcomes of Fort Wayne back pain treatment and specifically Fort Wayne
chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Fort Wayne BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back
pain treatment? 30% is reported to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that enough for you? Medical literature defines
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the slightest
change in outcome a patient sees as meaningful to
him or her. That difference is defined as 30% improvement in
self-reported pain or function by a study of 743 patients.
(2) In another study of 609 back-related
leg pain and sciatica patients, good outcome is explained to be 30% reduction in disability. 55% reported such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had
spine surgery for low back degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was experienced by 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes
up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are shared
with Fort Wayne chiropractic patients at
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc when the treatment plan is set up.
