“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a common
question Aaron Chiropractic Clinic hears when Fort Wayne
folks talk about chiropractic. Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are a assorted
group. Some Fort Wayne chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires
(though keeping on the at-home care program that incorporates
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these
issues at bay for many!). Some Fort Wayne chiropractic patients find
that making a Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a regular 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. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic appreciates every Fort Wayne
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Fort Wayne chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a Fort Wayne
chiropractic patient can gain from Fort Wayne chiropractic
care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic shares a recent
project in which chronic low back pain patients were treated three times a
week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with
light massage; some not treatment at all. In the end,
12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments created the most promising
outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, the 18 visits patients showed greatest
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses the Cox
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported
about other specific spinal issues
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic to really help our Fort Wayne back pain
patients’ understanding of what to expect with
Fort Wayne 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) resulted in 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 outcomes for maximum
improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis,
disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days
and visits differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite
different from treating a sprain. One is more challenging than the
other. 91% of patients discovered low back and leg pain relief on average in fewer
than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying cause of spinal
pain, a Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan can be planned
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted.
