Pensacola Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression. It’s popular today in back pain management for back pain relief. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center knows our Pensacola chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center shares this discussion about Pensacola spinal decompression and how Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.

Pensacola Spinal Decompression Defined

Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative pressure produced from spinal decompression over time may help reduce herniated discs and take pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center agrees with this definition and seeks to do just that with Pensacola chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the procedure known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.

Pensacola Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic

Cox Technic offered at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is well documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That is why Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center chooses to apply it. A team of chiropractic and medical researchers and research-center based as well as private-practice clinicians design the studies, participate in them, and publish the outcomes of these multi-disciplinary, federally funded, multi-facility, randomized clinical control trials using the published protocols documented in textbooks and journals. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Biomechanical Outcomes (6)

Spinal decompression via Cox Technic biomechanically allows for lumbar spine intradiscal pressure decreases to as low as -192 mmHg and increases in intervertebral foramen nerve opening area by 28% and disc height by 2mm. (7) Spinal decompression via Cox Technic allows for cervical spine intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about 1260 mmHg. (13) Cox Technic spinal decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.

Clinical Outcomes

Pensacola chiropractic spinal decompression with Cox Technic results in back pain relief for lumbar spine back pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90 days, curbing back pain sufferers from crossing over into the more high-priced as well as life-altering category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Pensacola spinal decompression reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly when put up against medical conservative care, primarily physical therapy (PT). (9) Additionally, patients treated with spinal decompression as Cox Technic took less care (3) and reported less pain (4) in the year following the study than did the PT patients.
