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 have these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation 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 strength of your
Baton Rouge chiropractor at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation. 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 found
50% pain relief after distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction mixed with
therapeutic modalities over a month for patients
with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole
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 Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
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 partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation are trained and then
assessed by written and hands-on testing prior to being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, be informed
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 Baton Rouge chiropractor at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation are
most learned and tested in the neuro
and ortho indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
