Executive Chiropractic of Iowas October 2017 Healthy Newsletter
West Des Moines knee pain is a pain that Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees a lot. Pain medications and surgical options abound while a new non-surgical chiropractic protocol is showing good results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique utilized in clinic all the time for West Des Moines back pain and neck pain relief - were tailored for use with knee pain. They proved successful in lessening knee pain. Overall, the mean pain scores for knee pain patients dropped from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale with 10 being the worst pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. In particular, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores dropped more dramatically from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores dropped from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. None of the patients reported any adverse side-effects. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable.
