“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal
question Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. responds to when Auburn
folks talk about chiropractic. Auburn chiropractic patients are a mixed
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 dictates
(though keeping on the at-home care program that includes
lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these
issues at bay for many!). Some Auburn chiropractic patients find
that making a Auburn chiropractic spinal manipulation
visit on a regular basis after pain relief is achieved
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.
OPTIMAL NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS FOR CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Now, just how frequently a Auburn
chiropractic patient can profit 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 recent
project in which participants with
chronic low back pain were treated three times a
week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would
receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. Finally,
12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most promising
outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. A year after care, 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 studied and reported
about other specific spinal conditions
the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence allows
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. to really aid our Auburn back pain
patients’ understanding of what to expect with
Auburn chiropractic care.
NUMBER OF CHIROPRACTIC VISITS BY CONDITION
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) resulted in data on 1000 back pain patients. It recorded
the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35,
12 visits in 29 days were the mean outcomes for maximum
improvement. For specific conditions like spondylolisthesis,
disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days
and visits differed. 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 found relief of their low back pain
and leg pain on average in less
than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and
12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal
pain, a Auburn chiropractic treatment plan can be planned
for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired.
