“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a familiar
question Chiropractic Care responds to when West Palm Beach
folks talk about chiropractic. West Palm Beach chiropractic patients are a mixed
lot. Some West Palm Beach chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some West Palm Beach
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires
(though following closely the at-home care program that includes
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these
issues at bay for many!). Some West Palm Beach chiropractic patients discover
that making a West Palm Beach chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a normal basis after pain relief is reached
benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded
to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Chiropractic Care appreciates every West Palm Beach
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this West Palm Beach chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a West Palm Beach
chiropractic patient can gain from West Palm Beach chiropractic
care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Chiropractic Care presents a new
project in which participants with
chronic low back pain were treated 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 produced the most promising
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) Chiropractic Care 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 Care to really aid our West Palm Beach back pain
patients’ knowledge of what to expect with
West Palm Beach chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
The number of visits for low back pain episodes changes
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. Globally35,
12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum
improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis,
disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days
and visits differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite
different from treating a sprain. One is more difficult to treat than the
other. 91% of patients discovered relief of their low back pain
and leg pain on average in fewer
than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying cause of spinal
pain, a West Palm Beach chiropractic treatment plan can be planned
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired.
