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 suffer these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Vancouver Disc Centers uses 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’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 forte of your
Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers. What is the possibility
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 treating 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 in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Vancouver Disc Centers.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation shows
that chiropractic students learn correct delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain wants the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of having surgery are best partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers 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
Last of all, 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 Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers are
most learned and tested in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
