Best to See Your Fort Wayne Chiropractor As Long As You Need

“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal question Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc hears when Fort Wayne folks talk about chiropractic. Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are a diverse group. Some Fort Wayne chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Fort Wayne chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates (though following closely the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Fort Wayne chiropractic patients discover that making a Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is achieved benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is grateful for every Fort Wayne chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Fort Wayne chiropractic practice.

OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN 

Now, just how frequently a Fort Wayne chiropractic patient can gain from Fort Wayne chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc presents a new project in which participants with chronic low back pain 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 favorable outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed peak outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 lets Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc to really aid our Fort Wayne back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Fort Wayne chiropractic care.

NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION 

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. Globally35, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One is more difficult to treat  than the other. 91% of patients found relief of their low back pain and leg pain on average in fewer than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits.
