“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Plainville
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic follows an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that goes back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research bears out the
system and its goals in which Plainville chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Plainville chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
used chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for back and neck pain management. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the past
year. (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
take a few visits to obtain results. Layden Chiropractic
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
NEW 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 reduced with
chiropractic care in 90 days. Those who reported
worse pain at first went for 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 getting
better slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were potentially managing their chronic pain with
a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Layden Chiropractic: educate our Plainville back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 29
days and 12 visits were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a little
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Layden Chiropractic
shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Plainville chronic neck and back
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever ails, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they understand
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Layden Chiropractic 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 so many 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 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.
