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 experience these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries uses the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as an answer to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let us consider back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo
spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity
pain to be treated
non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your
Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries. What is the potential
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 mixed with
therapeutic modalities over a month for patients
with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire
treatment entailed 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn correct delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain looks for the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with a high possibility
of undergoing surgery are optimally partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing before being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, 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 Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries are
most learned and tested in the neuro
and ortho indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination
determines the treatment plan for your desired
pain relief.
