“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal
question Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation gets when Tonawanda
folks talk about chiropractic. Tonawanda chiropractic patients are a diverse
lot. Some Tonawanda chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Tonawanda
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 Tonawanda chiropractic patients find
that coming for a Tonawanda 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 keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is grateful for every Tonawanda
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Tonawanda chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how often a Tonawanda
chiropractic patient can benefit from Tonawanda chiropractic
care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation shares a recent
project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment three times a
week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would
receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. Finally,
12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments created the most promising
results for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, the 18 visits patients showed greatest
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses the Cox
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported
about other specific spinal issues
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to really help our Tonawanda back pain
patients’ understanding of what to expect with
Tonawanda chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
The number of visits for low back pain episodes fluctuates
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 recorded
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 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 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 cause of spinal
pain, a Tonawanda chiropractic treatment plan can be arranged
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted.
