“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a familiar
question Layden Chiropractic gets when Plainville
folks talk about chiropractic. Plainville chiropractic patients are a mixed
lot. Some Plainville chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Plainville
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 keeps these
issues at bay for many!). Some Plainville chiropractic patients discover
that coming for a Plainville chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a regular basis after pain relief is reached
benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when reminded
to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Layden Chiropractic appreciates every Plainville
chiropractic patient who trusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Plainville chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a Plainville
chiropractic patient can gain from Plainville chiropractic
care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Layden Chiropractic shares a new
project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment three times a
week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with
light massage; some not treatment at all. Finally,
12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments created the most favorable
results for chronic low back pain patients. At
one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed peak
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Layden 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
Layden Chiropractic to really aid our Plainville back pain
patients’ knowledge of what to expect with
Plainville chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
The number of visits for low back pain episodes varies
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 differed. 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 low back and leg pain relief on average in fewer
than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal
pain, a Plainville chiropractic treatment plan can be arranged
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted.
