time back pain sufferers often expect 100%. A veteran back pain
sufferer who has undergone a couple
back surgeries, several spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. The Novelli Wellness Center

outcomes of Buffalo, NY back pain treatment and specifically Buffalo, NY
chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Buffalo, NY BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back
pain treatment? 30% is held to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that enough for you? Medical literature characterizes
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the smallest
change in status a patient feels is 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% stated such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had
spine surgery for low back degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was met for 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes
up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are communicated to Buffalo, NY chiropractic patients at
The Novelli Wellness Center when the treatment plan is set up.
