Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A common question for your Auburn chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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. Newer research confirms the system and its goals in which Auburn chiropractic patients can find peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Auburn chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it did not help. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was completed in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians used 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 sought chiropractic for back and neck pain treatment. 35 million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the past year. (2) That number is expanding as more people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may take a few visits to get relief. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A recent 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 90 days. Those who reported worse pain initially had more chiropractic visits. Chronic low back pain sufferers with more than one visit a week benefitted more. At 3 months, chronic back and neck pain patients were getting better slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement, and were potentially managing their chronic pain using a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s our goal, too, at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.: educate our Auburn back pain and neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain management and prevention! With Cox® Technic, a study of 1000 patients found that 29 days and 12 visits were the mean visits and days for improvement. Disc herniations did take a bit longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. presents statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Auburn chronic neck and back pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to pursue a cure for whatever ails, 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 implemented at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has always presented 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 looked for care from so many 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 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 offers patients realistic expectations.
