Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many times do I have to see you, doc?” A common question for your Toronto chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre goes by an evidence-based algorithm of care backed by clinical research that extends back to the 1970’s: The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Recent research bears out the system and its goals in which Toronto chiropractic patients can find calm as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Toronto chiropractic patients wouldn’t be chiropractic patients if it didn’t produce beneficial results. The latest study of who utilizes chiropractic was done in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians visited chiropractic. Though it was slightly below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number! (1) About 25% of U.S. residents sought chiropractic for back and neck pain treatment. 35 million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past year. (2) That number is growing as more people pursue and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic understanding that it may take a few visits to get relief. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is committed to setting a realistic treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT 3 MONTHS
Curious about how many chiropractic visits patients use and the outcomes? A new 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 reduced with chiropractic care in 90 days. 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 neck and back pain patients were improving slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement, and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain with a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s our goal, too, at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre: educate our Toronto back pain and neck pain patients about how they can help themselves with pain management and prevention! With Cox® Technic, 12 visits and 29 days were the mean days and visits to improvement in a study of 1000 patients. Disc herniations took a bit longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients form realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Toronto chronic neck and back pain patients are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to want 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 Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 pursued care from a variety of different providers 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 reduces 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.
