“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A common question for your Orchard Park, NY
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Novelli Wellness Center goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that stretches back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the
system and its goals in which Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients can find
calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help.
The latest study of who uses
chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
utilized chiropractic. Though it was slightly lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic
for neck and back pain management. 35
million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past
year. (2) That number is expanding as additional
people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may
take a few visits to obtain results. Novelli Wellness Center
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A new study found
that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain
patients’ function improved and back and neck pain reduced with
chiropractic care in 3 months. Those who reported
worse pain at first had more chiropractic
visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers who went to the chiropractor more
than once a week benefitted more. At 3
months, chronic back and neck pain patients were improving slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement,
and were potentially managing their chronic pain using
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s
our goal, too, at Novelli Wellness Center: educate our Orchard Park, NY back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can support themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 29 days and 12 visits were the mean days and visits for improvement. Disc herniations took a bit
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Novelli Wellness Center
shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Orchard Park, NY chronic back and neck
pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients want pain management that they know
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Novelli Wellness Center has always shared
the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain
and back pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have sought care from a variety of different providers that they understand it. The 50% Rule
of Cox® Technic makes sense to them: 50% relief in 30 days or referral for
imaging or other consultation, 50% relief reduces the visit
frequency by 50%, 50% relief changes the treatment from Protocol I to Protocol
II, etc. The chiropractic care system of Cox® Technic follows an established algorithm
that offers patients realistic expectations.
