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 top of mind.
Johnson Chiropractic 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 have
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
Richmond chiropractor at Johnson 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 heightening disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed
50% pain relief following 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 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 always leads
care at Johnson Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates
that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain looks for the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of having surgery are optimally partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic 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
Finally, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even
more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination
determines the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
