West Des Moines Chiropractic Healthy News from Executive Chiropractic of Iowa July 2017

 

Manual therapy spinal mobilization is preferred over physiotherapy by chronic back pain patients with disc degeneration for back pain intensity reduction and disability. (1) Not surprising to Executive Chiropractic of Iowa at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That is just what chiropractic presents – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care aims to initially calm and reduce pain then incorporate exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to curb future back pain. Back pain relief is a team effort!  Taking advantage of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management offers the best of both worlds: gentle stretching treatment to painful segments that drops intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is trained and ready to share the West Des Moines back pain relief via Cox Technic with our West Des Moines chiropractic patients!
