Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many times do I have to see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Baton Rouge chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers follows an evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research that goes back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the system and its goals in which Baton Rouge chiropractic patients can find peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Baton Rouge chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians utilized chiropractic. Though it was slightly below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent! (1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic for neck and back pain care. 35 million U.S. adults saw 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 get results. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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 new 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 with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3 months, chronic neck and back pain patients were improving slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement, and were potentially managing their chronic pain using a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is our goal, too, at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers: educate our Baton Rouge back pain and neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain management and prevention! With Cox® Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations did take a bit longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Baton Rouge chronic back and neck pain sufferers 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 necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers has always presented the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with neck pain and back pain sufferers who have pursued care from a variety of 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 drops 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 gives patients realistic expectations.
