“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. (2)
Whatever your underlying cause of spinal
pain, a Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired.
