“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a usual
question Amelia Chiropractic Clinic responds to when Fernandina Beach
folks talk about chiropractic. Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients are a assorted
lot. Some Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates
(though keeping on the at-home care program that incorporates
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these
issues at bay for many!). Some Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients discover
that coming for a Fernandina Beach 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 continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is grateful for every Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Fernandina Beach chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patient can profit from Fernandina Beach chiropractic
care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares a new
study in which chronic low back pain patients 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 produced the most positive
outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, the 18 visits patients showed peak
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic uses the Cox
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal issues
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to really aid our Fernandina Beach back pain
patients’ knowledge of what to expect with
Fernandina Beach chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
The number of visits for low back pain episodes changes
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. Overall,
12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum
improvement. For specific 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 low back and leg pain relief on average in less
than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal
pain, a Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan can be arranged
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired.
