Maximising Pain Relief: Choosing the Right Number of Therapy Sessions for the Year


Thinking about maintaining your chiropractic care? Here’s what the research says


If you have read my other blogs, you know most people experience pain relief from around 5 to 10 sessions, according to science


Then what next ?


Well usually we focus on getting more posture relief and maintaining this state of optimal health for longer and limit the amount of acute (new) attacks


Research coming out in 2020 has found people had FEWER days with bothersome (activity limiting) low back pain when receiving care at a REGULAR preplanned interval COMPARED to receiving treatment only when there is a new episode of pain


The study found patients had LONGER PAIN FREE PERIODS between back flare ups with a difference of 9.8 weeks


Low back pain has been successfully treatment by chiropractors and we can also reduce pain intensity and disability .


98% of all chiropractors have stated maintenance care to be clinically useful and beneficial for patients with recurrent and persistant musculoskeletal pain


How Many sessions is best for less pain overall in a given year?!
