“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A conventional question for your Manahawkin
chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center follows an
evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research
that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the
system and its goals in which Manahawkin chiropractic patients can find
peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Manahawkin chiropractic patients wouldn’t
be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results.
The latest study of who utilizes
chiropractic was done in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians
visited chiropractic. Though it was very below 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 care. 35
million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is growing as additional
people seek and find a non-surgical, conservative
approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may
take a few visits to get relief. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal
outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3
MONTHS
Curious about 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 neck and back pain patients were getting
better slowly, may have even attained maximum improvement,
and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain using
a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is
our goal, too, at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center: educate our Manahawkin back pain and
neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain
management and prevention! With Cox®
Technic, 29
days and 12 visits were the mean days and visits to improvement
in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a little
longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic
patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Manahawkin chronic neck and back
pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems
to seek a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic
spine pain patients want pain management that they understand
will require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic
care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 so many 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 gives patients realistic expectations.
