Hollstrom & Associates Inc Relieves Chronic Neck and Back Pain
“How many times do I have to see you, doc?” A conventional question for your Largo chiropractor. Chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 Largo chiropractic patients can find peace as they heal.
CHIROPRACTIC USE
Largo chiropractic patients wouldn’t be chiropractic patients if it did not produce beneficial results. The latest study of who uses chiropractic was conducted in Malaysia: 35% of Malayasians utilized chiropractic. Though it was very below traditional and complementary medicine care usage there, it is a good number! (1) About 25% of U.S. residents pursued chiropractic for back and neck pain care. 35 million U.S. adults saw a chiropractor in the past year. (2) That number is expanding as more people look for and find a non-surgical, conservative approach to pain relief in chiropractic knowing that it may take a few visits to get relief. Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 reported that in 1,362 chronic low back pain patients and 1,214 chronic neck pain patients’ function improved and back and neck pain decreased with chiropractic care in 3 months. 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 getting better slowly, may have even reached maximum improvement, and were quite possibly managing their chronic pain using a range of chiropractic visit frequencies. (3) That’s our goal, too, at Hollstrom & Associates Inc: educate our Largo 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 little longer and needed more visits than sprain/strains. (4) Hollstrom & Associates Inc shares statistics like this to assist our chiropractic patients make realistic expectations.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Largo chronic neck and back pain sufferers are realistic. Despite health policy today that seems to seek a cure for whatever is wrong, most chronic spine pain patients seek pain management that they understand will necessitate ongoing care rather than “cure” from their chiropractic care. (5) Cox® Technic implemented at Hollstrom & Associates Inc has always shared the idea of “control not cure” when it comes to most back pain and neck pain issues. It resonates with back pain and neck pain sufferers who have looked for care from so many different providers that they “get” 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 decreases 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.
