Pure Chiropractic Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A conventional question for your Concord, NC chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Pure Chiropractic follows an evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the system and its goals in which Concord, NC chiropractic patients can find calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Concord, NC chiropractic patients wouldn’t be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians used chiropractic. Though it was slightly lower than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number! (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 past year. (2) That number is growing as additional people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may take a few visits to obtain relief. Pure Chiropractic 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 3 months. Those who reported worse pain initially 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 back and neck pain patients were improving slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement, and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain using a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s our goal, too, at Pure Chiropractic: educate our Concord, NC back pain and neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain management and prevention! With Cox® Technic, 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits to improvement in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations did take a little longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Pure Chiropractic shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Concord, NC chronic back and neck pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to want a cure for whatever ails, 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 Pure Chiropractic has always shared the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain and back pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck 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 offers patients realistic expectations.
