What do Sandy Springs back pain sufferers desire
when they seek Sandy Springs back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Sandy Springs 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 had a few
back surgeries, several spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Cross Chiropractic Center
invites all these Sandy Springs back pain patients and shares
what the spinal research literature reports as realistic
outcomes of Sandy Springs back pain treatment and specifically Sandy Springs
chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Sandy Springs BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you expect from your back
pain treatment? 30% is said to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that adequate for you? Medical literature characterizes
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the smallest
change in outcome a patient feels is meaningful to
him or her. That difference is described as 30% improvement in
self-reported pain or function by 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% stated such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had
spine surgery for low back degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was experienced by 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability increases. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are communicated to Sandy Springs chiropractic patients at
Cross Chiropractic Center when the treatment plan is established.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In following the protocols of the
chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Cross Chiropractic Center and fellow chiropractors
who offer it seek 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and
we chiropractors do not feel that is too lofty
a target! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Cross Chiropractic Center witness
higher percentages of improvement for many Sandy Springs back pain
patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients comes
in just a few visits to a week or two, Sandy Springs
chiropractic treatment continues without a surgical consult or
advanced imaging (except if progressive neurological deficits occur or cauda equina exists). 50% relief is frequently
a timely relief for
Sandy Springs back pain patients looking for a return to a
quality of life that is acceptable. This might involve
taking the dog for a walk or walking to the
mailbox. Cross Chiropractic Center strives to help patients attain
realistic and sustainable outcomes of care.
