“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A familiar question for your Pensacola
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research
that stretches back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which Pensacola chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Pensacola chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
used 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 management. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the past
year. (2) That number is growing as additional
people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may
take a few visits to obtain results. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible
outcome.
NEW RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A new study reported
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 had more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers who went to the chiropractor more
than once a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were improving slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center: educate our Pensacola back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a little
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
presents statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Pensacola chronic neck and back
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients want pain management that they know
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center has always shared
the notion 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 so many different healthcare
professionals 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 decreases 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 offers patients realistic expectations.
