Best to See Your Manahawkin Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a common question Manahawkin Chiropractic Center gets when Manahawkin folks talk about chiropractic. Manahawkin chiropractic patients are a diverse lot. Some Manahawkin chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some Manahawkin 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 keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Manahawkin chiropractic patients find that making a Manahawkin chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is reached benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is grateful for every Manahawkin chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Manahawkin chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Manahawkin chiropractic patient can benefit from Manahawkin chiropractic care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic low back pain patients. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents a new project in which participants with chronic low back pain 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 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has studied and reported about other specific spinal issues the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets Manahawkin Chiropractic Center to really help our Manahawkin back pain patients’ understanding of what to expect with Manahawkin 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 detailed 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 differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One is more difficult to treat than the other. 91% of patients discovered low back and leg pain relief on average in fewer than 90 days (when the condition becomes "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal pain, a Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan can be planned for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is always ready to help!
