What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you suffer these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Palmer Chiropractic Center 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 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
Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center. 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 described as a good intervention for heightening disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed
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 in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation looks to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Palmer Chiropractic Center.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation shows
that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain looks for the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with a high likelihood
of undergoing surgery are optimally matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center are trained and then
assessed 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 Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center are
well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination
determines the treatment plan for your desired
pain relief.
