Best to See Your Auburn Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a common question Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. responds to when Auburn folks talk about chiropractic. Auburn chiropractic patients are a assorted lot. Some Auburn chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Auburn chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though keeping on the at-home care program that incorporates lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these issues at bay for many!). Some Auburn chiropractic patients discover that coming for a Auburn chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is attained benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. appreciates every Auburn chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Auburn chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Auburn chiropractic patient can benefit from Auburn chiropractic care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic low back pain patients. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. shares a new project in which chronic low back pain patients were treated three times a week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with light massage; some not treatment at all. Finally, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most favorable outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed peak outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal issues the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. to really help our Auburn back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Auburn 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. Overall, 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. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One is more difficult to treat than the other. 91% of patients found low back and leg pain relief on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
