What do Baton Rouge back pain sufferers desire
when they seek Baton Rouge back pain care? Back pain relief. How much
Baton Rouge back pain relief do they expect? 100%? 50%? That percentage differs
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, some spinal injections, many doctors and
therapists may well be thrilled with 50% or even 30%. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation
welcomes all these Baton Rouge back pain patients and shares
what the spinal research literature documents as realistic
outcomes of Baton Rouge back pain treatment and specifically Baton Rouge
chiropractic outcomes of care using the Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management.
YOUR EXPECTATION OF Baton Rouge BACK PAIN RELIEF
How much improvement do you expect from your back
pain treatment? 30% is reported to be “clinically relevant.” (1)
Is that adequate for you? Medical literature describes
the “minimal clinically important difference” of treatment to be the smallest
change in status a patient feels is meaningful to
him or her. That difference is defined 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 described as 30% reduction in disability. 55% stated such improvement
at 12 months of care. (3) The expectation of 5443 patients who had
spine surgery for lumbar spine degenerative disc disease for
pain and disability reduction was met for 64% at 12 months
post-surgery. However, satisfaction decreases as disability goes
up. (4) Realistic expectations of back pain treatment are communicated to Baton Rouge chiropractic patients at
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation when the treatment plan is arranged.
CHIROPRACTIC COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES FOR BACK PAIN
In following the protocols of the
chiropractic technique, Cox® Technic, Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation and fellow chiropractors
who offer it aim for 50% relief of pain in 30 days…and
we chiropractors don’t feel that is too lofty
a target! Cox® Technic physicians like yours at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation find
higher percentages of improvement for many Baton Rouge back pain
patients. With 50% relief, which for many patients comes
in just a couple visits to a couple weeks, Baton Rouge
chiropractic treatment continues without a surgical consult or
advanced imaging (except if progressive neurological deficits appear or cauda equina is present). 50% relief is often
a timely relief for
Baton Rouge back pain patients looking for a return to a
quality of life that is satisfactory. This might involve
walking the dog or going to the
mailbox. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation strives to help patients achieve
realistic and maintainable outcomes of care.
