“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A familiar question for your Severna Park
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Back And Neck Care Center follows an
evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research
that goes back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the
system and its goals in which Severna Park chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Severna Park chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it did not help.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
used chiropractic. Though it was very lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) About 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic
for neck and back pain treatment. 35
million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past
year. (2) That number is expanding as additional
people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
take a few visits to obtain relief. Back And Neck Care Center
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A new 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 reduced with
chiropractic care in 3 months. Those who reported
worse pain at first 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 reached maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Back And Neck Care Center: educate our Severna Park back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 29 days and 12 visits were the mean visits and days for improvement. Disc herniations took a bit
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Back And Neck Care Center
presents statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Severna Park chronic back and neck
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to want a cure for whatever ails, most chronic
spine pain patients pursue pain management that they understand
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Back And Neck Care Center has always shared
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 providers 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.
