What should
you consider for treatment of your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you suffer these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Chiropractic Care offers the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as a
response to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let’s talk about back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have
spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity
pain to be treated
non-surgically. This type of care is the strength of your
West Palm Beach chiropractor at Chiropractic Care. What is the possibility
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported
to be a good intervention for treating disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed
50% pain relief following distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction combined with
therapeutic modalities over a month for patients
with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole
treatment consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week
period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Chiropractic Care.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with a high possibility
of having surgery are best partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your West Palm Beach chiropractor at Chiropractic Care are trained and then
assessed by written and hands-on testing prior to being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Finally, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is just as and even
more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your West Palm Beach chiropractor at Chiropractic Care are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
determines the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
