How Long Do I Have to See The Chiropractor?

"Why do I need continued chiropractic treatments for my back pain? Why can't you, my Fort Wayne chiropractor, just treat it and put a stop to the pain altogether so it doesn't come back?"

This is not an uncommon question, and it's also quite logical. The answer is fairly understandable, too, though two-fold: we are born with spinal issues or we develop them.

BORN-WITH-IT BACK PAIN

Some of us are born with spinal weaknesses that will be with us all life through. Such conditions as spondylolisthesis, transitional vertebrae, fused vertebrae, and spinal curvatures are distinctive to one's own spine. There is no route to "get a new back bone" if one of these conditions is ours. So we must learn how to respect our spines so as to not cause pain. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc can deliver the spinal manipulation designed to alleviate your specific spinal condition. Then, you'll want to think about its 

It is in these on-going spine problems that we - you and your Fort Wayne chiropractor - must collaborate for the most welcome outcome, even coming in for occasional spinal manipulation. (1)

LIFE-ACQUIRED BACK PAIN

Some of us injure our backs. We do things that injure the seemingly healthiest of spines: tumbling off a snowmobile or ladder or wakeboard or lifting excess weight. You get the idea - things we do in everyday activities of daily living may harm us, and we end up with back pain. So, when we damage the spine to the extent that we cause intervertebral disc degeneration, a herniated disc, arthritis, misaligned vertebrae, etc., we now have a spinal weakness which may become the weak link in our spinal health.

We all must keep up a strong, well-aligned spine and utilize the spine with the respect and knowledge of dodging those settings that could trigger pain.

How? You and your Fort Wayne chiropractor see each other every so often. A recurring visit to Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc for spinal alignment and review of healthy spine maintenance is helpful. Continued spinal manipulation after the original pain-relieving care is even suggested as a way to chieve long-term benefit. (1) Truly, prevention is far better than having to go through repeated treatment of Fort Wayne back pain. It avoids pain and suffering in the present and decreases the chance of further spine pain in the future.

PATIENT-CENTERED BACK PAIN CARE: CHIROPRACTIC

A recent report described the reality of low back pain being a major cause of disability around the world. It’s persistent or recurrent for many people. It is not common that it just goes away and never returns. Luckily, chiropractic maintenance care or management treatment plan has been documented as effective in reducing painful days for some sufferers. Patients for whom maintenance care was recorded to be of high value saw such care as “patient-centered” while cost, (un)availability of care, and fear of treatment worried others. (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc strives to address all of these concerns which often go away as the back pain diminishes.

Whether you were born with it or developed it, back pain is disruptive. Alleviation of your pain is possible with Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc. Just understand that there is a logical need and even benefit for periodic spinal manipulation and chiropractic care for certain spine problems. (1)
