Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many times do I have to see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Fernandina Beach chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic follows 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients can find peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians utilized chiropractic. Though it was slightly lower than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number! (1) About 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic for neck and back pain management. 35 million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is expanding as more people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may take a few visits to get relief. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A recent 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 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 reached maximum improvement, and were potentially managing their chronic pain with a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is our goal, too, at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic: educate our Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain management and prevention! With Cox® Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations did take a little longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic presents statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Fernandina Beach chronic neck and back pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to seek a cure for whatever ails, most chronic spine pain patients seek pain management that they know will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has always presented the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain and back pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck 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 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 offers patients realistic expectations.
