What do Baton Rouge back pain sufferers want
when they seek Baton Rouge back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Baton Rouge back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage varies
with the back pain patient’s experience and past care. First
time back pain sufferers often expect 100%. A veteran back pain
sufferer who has gone through a couple
back surgeries, several spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Spine & Sports Rehab Center
invites all these Baton Rouge back pain patients and communicates
what the spinal research literature reports as realistic
outcomes of Baton Rouge back pain treatment and specifically Baton Rouge
chiropractic outcomes of care using the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Baton Rouge BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back
pain treatment? 30% is reported to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that enough for you? Medical literature characterizes
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the least
change in status a patient feels is meaningful to
him or her. That difference is described as 30% improvement in
self-reported pain or function as a result of a study of 743 patients.
(2) In another study of 609 back-related
leg pain and sciatica patients, good outcome is explained to be 30% reduction in disability. 55% reported such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who underwent
spine surgery for low back degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was met for 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes
up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are shared
with Baton Rouge chiropractic patients at
Spine & Sports Rehab Center when the treatment plan is set up.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In following the protocols of the
chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Spine & Sports Rehab Center and fellow chiropractors
who offer it seek 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and
we chiropractors don’t feel that is too lofty
a goal! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Spine & Sports Rehab Center find
higher percentages of improvement for many Baton Rouge back pain
patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients appears
in just a few visits to a week or two, Baton Rouge
chiropractic treatment carries on without a surgical consult or
advanced imaging (except if progressive neurological deficits are
seen or cauda equina exists). 50% relief is often
a timely relief for
Baton Rouge back pain patients looking for a return to a
quality of life that is acceptable. This might incorporate
walking the dog or going to the
mailbox. Spine & Sports Rehab Center tries to help patients achieve
realistic and maintainable outcomes of care.
