Best to See Your New York City Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal question Rosenberg Wellness Center gets when New York City folks talk about chiropractic. New York City chiropractic patients are a mixed group. Some New York City chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and stop coming. Some New York City chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though keeping on the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these issues at bay for many!). Some New York City chiropractic patients discover that coming for a New York City chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a normal basis after pain relief is attained benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Rosenberg Wellness Center appreciates every New York City chiropractic patient who trusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this New York City chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a New York City chiropractic patient can benefit from New York City chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Rosenberg Wellness Center shares a recent project in which chronic low back pain patients received treatment three times a week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. In the end, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most favorable outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed greatest outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal issues the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets Rosenberg Wellness Center to really aid our New York City back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with New York City chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes fluctuates 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 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. 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 fewer than 90 days (when the condition becomes "chronic") and 12 visits.
