Best to See Your Concord, NC Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a common question Pure Chiropractic gets when Concord, NC folks talk about chiropractic. Concord, NC chiropractic patients are a diverse lot. Some Concord, NC chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Concord, NC chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates (though following closely the at-home care program that incorporates lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Concord, NC chiropractic patients discover that coming for a Concord, NC chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is attained benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Pure Chiropractic is grateful for every Concord, NC chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Concord, NC chiropractic practice.
Now, just how frequently a Concord, NC chiropractic patient can gain from Concord, NC chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Pure Chiropractic presents a new study in which chronic low back pain patients were treated 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) Pure Chiropractic uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal issues the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits Pure Chiropractic to really help our Concord, NC back pain patients’ understanding of what to expect with Concord, NC chiropractic care.
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) gathered data on 1000 back pain patients. It detailed the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Overall, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean outcomes for maximum improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One is more challenging than the other. 91% of patients discovered low back and leg pain relief on average in fewer than 90 days (when the condition becomes "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying cause of spinal pain, a Concord, NC chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired. Pure Chiropractic is always ready to help!
