“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a usual
question Novelli Wellness Center responds to when Orchard Park, NY
folks talk about chiropractic. Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients are a assorted
lot. Some Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients come for a
specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue dictates
(though following closely the at-home care program that incorporates
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these
issues at bay for many!). Some Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients discover
that coming for a Orchard Park, NY chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a normal schedule after pain relief is reached
benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded
to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and
being adjusted. Novelli Wellness Center appreciates every Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and
on-going health to this Orchard Park, NY chiropractic practice.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how often a Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic patient can benefit from Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic
low back pain patients. Novelli Wellness Center shares a recent
study in which participants with
chronic low back pain 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 favorable
results for chronic low back pain patients. At
one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed greatest
outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Novelli Wellness Center uses the Cox
Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal conditions
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence allows
Novelli Wellness Center to really aid our Orchard Park, NY back pain
patients’ understanding of what to expect with
Orchard Park, NY 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 results for maximum
improvement. For particular 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 cause of spinal
pain, a Orchard Park, NY chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted.
