Best to See Your Largo Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a normal question Hollstrom & Associates Inc gets when Largo folks talk about chiropractic. Largo chiropractic patients are a assorted group. Some Largo chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Largo chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though following closely the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise helps keep these issues at bay for many!). Some Largo chiropractic patients discover that coming for a Largo chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is attained benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when reminded to continuing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is grateful for every Largo chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Largo chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Largo chiropractic patient can gain from Largo chiropractic care visits is a research-documented answer for chronic low back pain patients. Hollstrom & Associates Inc presents a new project in which participants with chronic low back pain were treated three times a week for 6 weeks. During each visit the patient would receive spinal manipulation or light massage or no treatment. Finally, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most positive 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) Hollstrom & Associates Inc uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal conditions the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence lets Hollstrom & Associates Inc to really help our Largo back pain patients’ understanding of what to expect with Largo chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes varies often with the underlying cause of the back pain episode. A study from 30 chiropractic clinics’ chiropractic care with flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic) gathered data on 1000 back pain patients. It detailed the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean outcomes for maximum improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits differed. Treating a disc herniation is quite different from treating a sprain. One presents a greater challenge to treat than the other. 91% of patients found low back and leg pain relief on average in less than 90 days (when the condition becomes "chronic") and 12 visits. (2)
Whatever your underlying condition of spinal pain, a Largo chiropractic treatment plan can be arranged for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is wanted. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is always ready to help!
