“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A familiar question for your West Palm Beach
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Moses Chiropractic 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. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which West Palm Beach chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
used chiropractic. Though it was slightly lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent!
(1) About 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic
for back and neck pain management. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is growing as more
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. Moses Chiropractic
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 recent study found
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 three months. Those who reported
worse pain at first went for more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were improving slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were potentially managing their chronic pain with
a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Moses Chiropractic: educate our West Palm Beach 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 days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations took a bit
longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Moses Chiropractic
shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
West Palm Beach chronic neck and back
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever ails, most chronic
spine pain patients want pain management that they understand
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Moses Chiropractic has always shared
the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with neck pain
and back pain sufferers who have looked
for care from a variety of different providers that they “get” 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 drops 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 offers patients realistic expectations.
