Best to See Your Williamson Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal question Apple Country Chiropractic responds to when Williamson folks talk about chiropractic. Williamson chiropractic patients are a mixed lot. Some Williamson chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Williamson chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though keeping on the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Williamson chiropractic patients find that making a Williamson chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is reached benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when reminded to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Apple Country Chiropractic appreciates every Williamson chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Williamson chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Williamson chiropractic patient can benefit from Williamson chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Apple Country Chiropractic presents a recent project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment three times a week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with light massage; some not treatment at all. In the end, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments created the most promising 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) Apple Country Chiropractic uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported about other specific spinal conditions the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets Apple Country Chiropractic to really aid our Williamson back pain patients’ understanding of what to expect with Williamson chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes varies often with the underlying cause of the back pain episode. A study from 30 chiropractic clinics’ chiropractic care with flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic) gathered data on 1000 back pain patients. It documented the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. There is a difference in treating a disc herniation versus a sprain understandably. One presents a greater challenge to treat than the other. 91% of patients discovered relief of their low back pain and leg pain on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits.
