Rosenberg Wellness Center Asks Back Pain Patients About Pain Relief Expectations
What do New York City back pain sufferers want when they seek New York City back pain care? Back pain relief. How much New York City back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage varies with the back pain patient’s experience and preceding care. First time back pain sufferers many times expect 100%. A veteran back pain sufferer who has gone through a few back surgeries, several spinal injections, many doctors and therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Rosenberg Wellness Center invites all these New York City back pain patients and shares what the spinal research literature documents as realistic outcomes of New York City back pain treatment and specifically New York City chiropractic outcomes of care using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF New York City BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you expect from your back pain treatment? 30% is said to be “clinically relevant.” (1) Is that enough for you? Medical literature defines the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the smallest change in status a patient sees as meaningful to him or her. That difference is described as 30% improvement in self-reported pain or function as a result of a study of 743 patients. (2) In another study of 609 back-related leg pain and sciatica patients, good outcome is explained to be 30% reduction in disability. 55% reported such improvement at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had spine surgery for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease for pain and disability reduction was experienced by 64% at 12 months post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are shared with New York City chiropractic patients at Rosenberg Wellness Center when the treatment plan is set up.
