Best to See Your Manchester Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal question Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries hears when Manchester folks talk about chiropractic. Manchester chiropractic patients are a diverse lot. Some Manchester chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Manchester chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates (though following closely the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these issues at bay for many!). Some Manchester chiropractic patients discover that coming for a Manchester chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is achieved benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when reminded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries appreciates every Manchester chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Manchester chiropractic practice.
Now, just how frequently a Manchester chiropractic patient can gain from Manchester chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries shares 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 created the most promising outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed peak outcomes for disability and pain relief.

Such evidence lets Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries to really help our Manchester back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Manchester chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes fluctuates 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 outcomes for maximum improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One presents a greater challenge 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.
