“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A familiar question for your Fort Wayne
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic goes by 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 Fort Wayne chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Fort Wayne 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 below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for neck and back pain care. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is growing as more
people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
require a few visits to get results. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
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 decreased with
chiropractic care in 90 days. Those who reported
worse pain at first had 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 potentially managing their chronic pain using
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic: educate our Fort Wayne 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 days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations did take a bit
longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Fort Wayne chronic back and neck
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they know
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has always presented
the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain
and back pain issues. It resonates with neck pain
and back pain sufferers who have sought 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 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.
