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 experience these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Wilson Family Chiropractic 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 means 99% of people with back and extremity pain will be treated
non-surgically. This type of care is the forte of your
Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic. 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 described as 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 combined 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 entailed 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Wilson Family Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with an elevated possibility
of having surgery are best matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic 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 Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic are
well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
determines the treatment plan for your desired
pain relief.
