Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
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 forefront in your mind. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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’s consider back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity pain to be treated non-surgically. This type of care is the strength of your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries. 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 described as 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 combined with therapeutic modalities over a month for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave 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 Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation shows that chiropractic students are taught 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 verify that patients with an elevated likelihood of having surgery are best matched with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors like your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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, 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 Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries are well-trained and tested in the neuro and ortho findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination determines the treatment plan for your desired pain relief.
