Relief for Post-Surgical Continued Back Pain with Cox Technic

Back surgery offers a range of relief for back pain patients: 49-58% for lumbar disc herniation causing sciatica. (1) After back surgery, many still find that they have back pain. (2) Could this be why spinal manipulation is recommended by the American Pain Society and the American College Of Physicians for primary care of low back pain?  (3) This is where Ashburn chiropractic care with Cox Technic plays a role. In a recent clinical data collection study, 81% of patients show 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients show continued pain relief at 24 months after care. (4) Cox Technic is the gentle, well-researched chiropractic technique Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn chooses to use. For more information, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn invites you to listen to this podcast in which Dr. Cox, the developer of Cox Technic, as he shares more about Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation.

 

Make A New Spine? Yes!

Amazing what technology is allowing us to do today! For back pain specialists like chiropractors and their back pain patients, it’s quite intriguing. 3D printing technology is creating custom-designed intervertebral discs as well as the tissues to support such replacements in the spine. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn looks forward to seeing the outcomes of these new technologies in 5 and 10 years. Along with our Ashburn chiropractic patients, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn wonders if there will still be some post-surgical continued pain after these replacement surgeries. Good question. In the meantime, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers Ashburn chiropractic care for neck pain and back pain due to spinal discs for non-surgical pain relief.
