When you have back pain, what kind of doctor comes to mind to help? A back pain specialist.
A back pain specialist is a doctor who not only wishes to treat back pain, but also one who is educated to treat back pain in general and even has focused additional training on back pain treatment and relief. A chiropractic back pain specialist is educated first in chiropractic school to examine, diagnose and treat spinal pain conditions like back pain, neck pain, leg pain, etc., then builds on that base knowledge as he or she grows in clinical experience and knowledge.

While chiropractic by definition uses the nervous system to relieve pain, it offers many techniques for relief of pain throughout the body. chiropractic for back pain and spine pain relief is most readily recognized by the healthcare system and reimbursement system. One possibly argue that this is not embracing enough of all chiropractic has to offer, not only in Tonawanda but throughout the world.

Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation finds that Cox Technic protocols help the back pain specialist in placing the back pain patient in one of two groups - Protocol I and Protocol II. Regardless of the group, the back pain specialist then monitors and modifies the treatment plan according to the 50% rule, meaning that the back pain sufferer's progress toward relief is monitored by the back pain specialist at each visit, and the frequency of visits and type of treatment is adapted to the progress.
Cox Technic non-surgical protocols are documented for the back pain specialist to follow. Successfully, 91% of patients in the 1000 cases study found relief of their pain at 90 days of care; they did not become "chronic" pain patients. 29 days and 12 visits were the average clinical outcomes for back pain relief in this data collection from 30 chiropractic back pain specialists' clinics. (2) The back pain specialist is also realistic and will be down-to-earth when explaining that the goal of care is "control, not cure" in many cases of back pain due to conditions that are congenital or degenerative in nature.
