“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A familiar question for your Oxford
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Satterwhite Chiropractic goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that goes back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the
system and its goals in which Oxford chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Oxford chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
used chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for back and neck pain care. 35
million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is expanding as additional
people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
require a few visits to obtain relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
RECENT 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 decreased with
chiropractic care in 90 days. Those who reported
worse pain initially went for more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were improving slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement,
and were potentially managing their chronic pain using
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Satterwhite Chiropractic: educate our Oxford back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help 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 did take a little
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic
presents statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Oxford chronic neck and back
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients pursue pain management that they understand
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Satterwhite Chiropractic has always presented
the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have sought 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.
