“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a familiar
question Moses Chiropractic hears when West Palm Beach
folks talk about chiropractic. West Palm Beach chiropractic patients are a mixed
group. Some West Palm Beach chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some West Palm Beach
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates
(though keeping on the at-home care program that includes
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these
issues at bay for many!). Some West Palm Beach chiropractic patients find
that coming for a West Palm Beach chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a regular basis after pain relief is reached
benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded
to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Moses Chiropractic is grateful for every West Palm Beach
chiropractic patient who trusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this West Palm Beach chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how often a West Palm Beach
chiropractic patient can benefit from West Palm Beach chiropractic
care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Moses Chiropractic presents a new
project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment three times a
week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would
receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. In the end,
12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments created the most positive
results for chronic low back pain patients. At
one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed greatest
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Moses Chiropractic 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 allows
Moses Chiropractic to really aid our West Palm Beach back pain
patients’ knowledge of what to expect with
West Palm Beach 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) resulted in data on 1000 back pain patients. It documented
the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35,
12 visits in 29 days were the mean outcomes for maximum
improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis,
disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days
and visits varied. 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 turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal
pain, a West Palm Beach chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted.
