“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A conventional question for your Millville
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Wilson Family Chiropractic follows an
evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research
that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which Millville chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Millville chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
visited chiropractic. Though it was very lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent!
(1) About 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for neck and back pain treatment. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is growing as more
people seek and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may
require a few visits to get results. Wilson Family Chiropractic
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A recent study reported
that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain
patients’ function improved and back and neck pain decreased with
chiropractic care in 3 months. Those who reported
worse pain initially went for more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers who went to the chiropractor more
than once a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic neck and back pain patients were improving slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with
a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Wilson Family Chiropractic: educate our Millville back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 12 visits
and 29 days were the mean visits and days for improvement. Disc herniations did take a little
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Wilson Family Chiropractic
shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Millville chronic back and neck
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients pursue pain management that they know
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Wilson Family Chiropractic has always presented
the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have pursued care from a variety of different healthcare
professionals that they understand 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.
