Executive Chiropractic of Iowa Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many visits will I have to make, doc?” A conventional question for your West Des Moines chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa goes by 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 bears out the system and its goals in which West Des Moines chiropractic patients can find peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
West Des Moines chiropractic patients would not be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results. The latest study of who utilizes chiropractic was done in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians visited chiropractic. Though it was very lower than traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number! (1) About 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic for back and neck pain care. 35 million U.S. adults went to a chiropractor in the past year. (2) That number is growing 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. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for optimal outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Wondering how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A new 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 decreased with chiropractic care in three months. 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 with a variety of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That is our goal, too, at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa: educate our West Des Moines 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 12 visits and 29 days were the mean visits and days for improvement. Disc herniations took a bit longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa shares statistics like this to help our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
West Des Moines chronic back and neck pain sufferers 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 require ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic used at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa has always shared the notion of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have looked for care from a variety of 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 drops 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.
