Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A familiar question for your Groton chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office goes by an evidence-based algorithm of care supported by clinical research that stretches back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Newer research bears out the system and its goals in which Groton chiropractic patients can find calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Groton chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results. The latest study of who utilizes chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians used chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good percent! (1) Approximately 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic for neck and back pain care. 35 million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the last 12 months. (2) That number is expanding as additional people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may take a few visits to get results. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office 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 found that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain patients’ function improved and back and neck pain decreased with chiropractic care in three 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 reached maximum improvement, and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain using a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is our goal, too, at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office: educate our Groton 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 bit longer and required more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office presents statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Groton chronic back and neck pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to pursue a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic spine pain patients want pain management that they know will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has always presented the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most neck pain and back pain issues. It resonates with neck pain and back pain sufferers who have looked for care from a variety of different providers that they “get” 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 decreases 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 provides patients realistic expectations.
