“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Manchester
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research
that stretches back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which Manchester chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Manchester chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was done in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
visited chiropractic. Though it was slightly below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) Approximately 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 additional
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. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
NEW RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Curious about 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 90 days. Those who reported
worse pain at first had 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 Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries: educate our Manchester 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 did take a little
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries
presents statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Manchester chronic back and neck
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever ails, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they understand
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has always presented
the notion 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 pursued care from so many 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 reduces 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.
