Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or
low back pain that is an issue for your West Palm Beach chiropractor
and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the inquisitive
patient!) about which position is most advantageous.
For the West Palm Beach back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating
doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your West Palm Beach spine
specialist, prone is definitely desired
as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used.
At Chiropractic Care prone spinal care is our back pain relief domain,
and research agrees!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Chiropractic Care grounds its West Palm Beach
chiropractic treatment on research. Chiropractic Care keeps abreast of13
current spinal care research. In a new study of
traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed
that traction in the prone position brought about immediate
and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a
hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid
exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Chiropractic Care notes
the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing
the fluid exchange in the disc (as Chiropractic Care knows
nutrition of the disc counts on this and is the reason
disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Chiropractic Care applies a distinctive form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion
distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your West Palm Beach
chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely
designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving
chest support piece and mobile support piece for your legs. Researchers
note that the proper forces a chiropractor is to
apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table during
Cox Technic can be taught consistently for
clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Chiropractic Care. This means a patient can be treated by one trained chiropractor in
much the same way as by another trained chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your
West Palm Beach chiropractor is trained in this. Applying
the proper forces allows the
best chance to replicate the clinical back pain
relief for West Palm Beach low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers
have recorded in their research studies. That
is thrilling to your West Palm Beach chiropractor and relieving
to the West Palm Beach chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Care!
