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 suffer these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation uses 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 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
Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. What is the potential
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help
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 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 looks to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain looks for the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of having surgery are optimally matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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
Last of all, be informed
that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even
more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation are
most learned and tested in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
