“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a usual
question Wilson Family Chiropractic gets when Millville
folks talk about chiropractic. Millville chiropractic patients are a assorted
group. Some Millville chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Millville
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates
(though keeping on the at-home care program that incorporates
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these
issues at bay for many!). Some Millville chiropractic patients discover
that making a Millville chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is reached
benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded
to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Wilson Family Chiropractic is grateful for every Millville
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Millville chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a Millville
chiropractic patient can benefit from Millville chiropractic
care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Wilson Family Chiropractic shares a recent
project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment 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 created the most promising
outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, the 18 visits patients showed greatest
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Wilson Family Chiropractic uses the Cox
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal issues
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits
Wilson Family Chiropractic to really help our Millville back pain
patients’ knowledge of what to expect with
Millville chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
The number of visits for low back pain episodes fluctuates
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 detailed
the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Overall,
12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum
improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis,
disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days
and visits differed. There is a difference in treating a disc
herniation versus a sprain understandably. One presents
a greater challenge 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 becomes "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal
pain, a Millville chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired.
