While chiropractic by definition uses the nervous system to relieve pain, it offers many techniques for relief of pain throughout the body. chiropractic for back pain and spine pain relief is most readily recognized by the healthcare system and reimbursement system. One may argue that this is not embracing enough of all chiropractic has to offer, not only in St Peters but throughout the world.

However, 80% of Americans experience back pain at some point in their life and 1 in 3 has back pain right now. chiropractic doctors are busy, especially those chiropractors who may even be known as the back pain specialists in St Peters who focus their chiropractic practices on back pain examination, diagnosis and relief.

Old Mill Chiropractic finds that Cox Technic protocols assist the back pain specialist in placing the back pain patient in one of two groups - Protocol I and Protocol II. Regardless of the group, the back pain specialist then monitors and modifies the treatment plan according to the 50% rule, meaning that the back pain sufferer's progress toward relief is monitored by the back pain specialist at each visit, and the frequency of visits and type of treatment is adapted to the progress.

Cox Technic non-surgical protocols are documented for the back pain specialist to follow. Successfully, 91% of patients in the 1000 cases study found relief of their pain at 90 days of care; they did not become "chronic" pain patients. 29 days and 12 visits were the average clinical outcomes for back pain relief in this data collection from 30 chiropractic back pain specialists' clinics.
