“How many times do I have to
see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Brooks
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Soft Health and Healing Clinic goes by an
evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research
that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Newer research confirms the
system and its goals in which Brooks chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Brooks chiropractic patients would not
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t help.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
visited chiropractic. Though it was very lower
than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent!
(1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic
for back and neck pain treatment. 35
million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past
year. (2) That number is growing as more
people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may
take a few visits to get relief. Soft Health and Healing Clinic
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
NEW RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits
patients use and the outcomes? A new study reported
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 getting
better slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with
a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Soft Health and Healing Clinic: educate our Brooks back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations did take a bit
longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Soft Health and Healing Clinic
shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Brooks chronic neck and back
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients seek pain management that they know
will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Soft Health and Healing Clinic has always shared
the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with neck pain
and back pain sufferers who have pursued care from a variety of different healthcare
professionals 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 decreases 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 gives patients realistic expectations.
