What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you experience these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as a
response to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let’s talk about back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have
spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity
pain to be treated
non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your
Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center. 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 revealed
50% pain relief after distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction mixed with
therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients
with lumbar disc herniation gave 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 appears to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows
that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar
to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain wants the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with an elevated possibility
of undergoing surgery are best matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are trained and then
assessed 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 important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
determines the treatment path to your desired
pain relief.
