What do Malverne back pain sufferers want
when they seek Malverne back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Malverne back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage varies
with the back pain patient’s experience and past care. First
time back pain sufferers many times expect 100%. A veteran back pain
sufferer who has gone through a few
back surgeries, some spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Malverne Health & Wellness
welcomes all these Malverne back pain patients and shares
what the spinal research literature documents as realistic
outcomes of Malverne back pain treatment and specifically Malverne
chiropractic outcomes of care following the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Malverne BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you want from your back
pain treatment? 30% is said to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that enough for you? Medical literature describes
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the smallest
change in outcome a patient sees as 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 underwent
spine surgery for low back degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was met for 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability rises. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are shared
with Malverne chiropractic patients at
Malverne Health & Wellness when the treatment plan is arranged.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In adhering to the protocols of the
chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Malverne Health & Wellness and fellow chiropractors
who use it aim for 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and
we chiropractors do not see this as too high
a goal! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Malverne Health & Wellness witness
higher percentages of improvement for many Malverne back pain
patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients results
in just a few visits to a week or two, Malverne
chiropractic treatment carries on without a surgical consult or
advanced imaging (unless progressive neurological deficits appear or cauda equina exists). 50% relief is often
a timely relief for
Malverne back pain patients looking for a return to a
quality of life that is acceptable. This might involve
walking the dog or walking to the
mailbox. Malverne Health & Wellness tries to help patients achieve
realistic and sustainable outcomes of care.
