Executive Chiropractic of Iowa Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
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 experience these conditions, this question is forefront in your mind. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 us 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 West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. What is the potential 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 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 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 consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week period 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 Executive Chiropractic of Iowa.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery of force in giving 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 a high likelihood of undergoing surgery are best partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors like your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 just as and even more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors of chiropractic like your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa are well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination determines the treatment path to your wanted pain relief.
