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.
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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’s talk about 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 kind of care is the strength of your
Ashburn chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. What is the potential
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported
to be a good intervention for enhancing 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 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 consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week
period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn correct delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of undergoing surgery are optimally matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your Ashburn chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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
Finally, 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 Ashburn chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn are
well-trained and tested in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
