Pain Relief with Vancouver Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Vancouver chiropractic practice) diminishes neuropathic pain, pain that extends into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain joining low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is regularly used to control low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, lessens pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A new rat study reaffirms that using Cox Technic offers short-term pain-relief akin to that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Vancouver Disc Centers chooses to use it with our Vancouver back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation influences pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin as well as interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of Vancouver chiropractic treatment: to quieten the nervous system when it is affected by pain.

Curious how recommendations are always for someone else! A Canadian study shared that, when asked, young adults recognized that calcium is critical for kids and older adults but not how important it was for them. (5) Calcium is key for all ages! Your Vancouver chiropractor is ready to discuss just how important it is for you.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Vancouver Disc Centers!
