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 forefront in your mind.
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa 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 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 type of care is the forte of your
West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. 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 reported
to be a good intervention for treating 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 produced 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 seems to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with a high possibility
of undergoing surgery are optimally 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
examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Finally, be informed
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 West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
determines the treatment plan for your desired
pain relief.
