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 have these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Moses Chiropractic offers 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 consider 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 Palm Beach chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic. What is the potential
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported
to be a good intervention for enhancing disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study found
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 in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Moses Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates
that chiropractic students learn correct delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain wants the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of undergoing surgery are optimally partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your West Palm Beach chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing before being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, understand
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 Palm Beach chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic are
well-versed and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
