What should
you consider for treatment of your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you experience these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Layden Chiropractic offers the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as a
response 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 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 forte of your
Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic. 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 described as 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 month for patients
with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire
treatment entailed 18 visits over a 4-week
period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation looks to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Layden Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates
that chiropractic students are taught correct delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain wants the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of undergoing surgery are best partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic 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
Finally, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even
more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Plainville chiropractor at Layden Chiropractic are
well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
