Is Juneau Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Juneau chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the interested patient!) concerning which position is most advantageous. For the Juneau back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your Juneau spine specialist, prone is surely preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Aurora Chiropractic Center prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Aurora Chiropractic Center bases its Juneau chiropractic treatment on research. Aurora Chiropractic Center keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center notes the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Aurora Chiropractic Center knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Aurora Chiropractic Center utilizes a special form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Juneau chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers state that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Aurora Chiropractic Center. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor in much the same way as by another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Juneau chiropractor is so trained. Applying the appropriate forces allows the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Juneau low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Juneau chiropractor and alleviating to the Juneau chiropractic patients at Aurora Chiropractic Center!
