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 have these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center presents 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 have
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 strength of your
Pensacola chiropractor at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center. What is the possibility
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help
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 found
50% pain relief after distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction mixed with
therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients
with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire
treatment consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week
period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows
that chiropractic students learn proper 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 verify
that patients with a high probability
of undergoing surgery are best partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Pensacola chiropractor at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Last of all, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is just as and even
more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Pensacola chiropractor at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center are
well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
