Spinal decompression. It is common
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Palmer Chiropractic Center knows our Lynchburg
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Palmer Chiropractic Center
shares this discussion about Lynchburg spinal
decompression and how Palmer Chiropractic Center addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Lynchburg 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 generated by spinal decompression over time may assist by reducing herniated discs and taking
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)
Palmer Chiropractic Center concurs with this description
and seeks to do just that with Lynchburg chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Lynchburg Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by Palmer Chiropractic 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 Palmer Chiropractic Center uses 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 falls 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
Lynchburg 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 costly as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Lynchburg spinal decompression
lessens radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly
when put up against medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Additionally, patients treated
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic took less
care (3) and described less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.

Palmer Chiropractic Center offers chiropractic spinal decompression as
spinal manipulation in the form of flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic). Your
Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center is ready to
help Lynchburg back pain and neck pain patients lessen
and control their pain. Lynchburg chiropractic spinal decompression in
the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction is insurance coded as spinal
manipulation. It is chiropractic which current
published studies document as being less
expensive than 2% of the total cost to treat a
lumbar herniated disc (10) and costing 40% less than medical doctor started
care for back pain. (11)
