What do Brooks back pain sufferers want
when they seek Brooks back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Brooks back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage varies
with the back pain patient’s experience and preceding care. First
time back pain sufferers often expect 100%. A veteran back pain
sufferer who has had a few
back surgeries, some spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Soft Health and Healing Clinic
invites all these Brooks back pain patients and shares
what the spinal research literature reports as realistic
outcomes of Brooks back pain treatment and specifically Brooks
chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Brooks BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back
pain treatment? 30% is said to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that enough for you? Medical literature defines
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the least
change in outcome a patient sees as meaningful to
him or her. That difference is defined 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 described as 30% reduction in disability. 55% stated such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who underwent
spine surgery for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was experienced by 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability rises. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are communicated to Brooks chiropractic patients at
Soft Health and Healing Clinic when the treatment plan is arranged.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In going by the protocols of the
chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Soft Health and Healing Clinic and fellow chiropractors
who use it aim for 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and
we chiropractors don’t feel that is too high
a goal! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Soft Health and Healing Clinic observe
higher percentages of improvement for many Brooks back pain
patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients comes
in just a few visits to a week or two, Brooks
chiropractic treatment carries on without a surgical consult or
advanced imaging (unless progressive neurological deficits appear or cauda equina exists). 50% relief is often
a welcome relief for
Brooks back pain patients seeking a return to a
quality of life that is satisfactory. This might incorporate
walking the dog or walking to the
mailbox. Soft Health and Healing Clinic tries to help patients attain
realistic and maintainable outcomes of care.
