Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Asks Back Pain Patients About Pain Relief Expectations
What do Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers want when they seek Fernandina Beach back pain care? Back pain relief. How much Fernandina Beach back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage differs with the back pain patient’s experience and past care. First time back pain sufferers many times expect 100%. A veteran back pain sufferer who has gone through a few back surgeries, several spinal injections, many doctors and therapists may well be delighted with 50% or even 30%. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic invites all these Fernandina Beach back pain patients and shares what the spinal research literature documents as realistic outcomes of Fernandina Beach back pain treatment and specifically Fernandina Beach chiropractic outcomes of care using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Fernandina Beach BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you expect from your back pain treatment? 30% is held to be “clinically relevant.” (1) Is that enough for you? Medical literature describes the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the slightest change in outcome a patient sees as meaningful to him or her. That difference is described as 30% improvement in self-reported pain or function by a study of 743 patients. (2) In another study of 609 back-related leg pain and sciatica patients, good outcome is explained to be 30% reduction in disability. 55% reported such improvement at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had spine surgery for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease for pain and disability reduction was experienced by 64% at 12 months post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are communicated to Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic when the treatment plan is established.
