Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many times do I have to see you, doc?” A familiar question for your Manchester chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 confirms the system and its goals in which Manchester chiropractic patients can find calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Manchester chiropractic patients wouldn’t be chiropractic patients if it did not help. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians visited chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent! (1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic for back and neck pain treatment. 35 million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past year. (2) That number is growing as more people seek and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may take a few visits to get relief. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal outcome.
NEW RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A recent 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 3 months. Those who reported worse pain initially 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 getting better slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement, and were potentially managing their chronic pain using a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is our goal, too, at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries: educate our Manchester 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 required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Manchester chronic neck and back pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to pursue a cure for whatever ails, most chronic spine pain patients seek pain management that they know will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has always presented the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain and back pain issues. It resonates with neck pain and back pain sufferers who have pursued care from a variety of 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 drops 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 gives patients realistic expectations.
