Aurora Chiropractic Center 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 experience these conditions, this question is top of mind. Aurora Chiropractic Center 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 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 Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center. 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 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 gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole treatment entailed 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 Aurora Chiropractic Center.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation explains that chiropractic students are taught correct delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine pain looks for the best surgeon, studies verify that patients with a high probability of having surgery are optimally matched with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors like your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center 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
Finally, be informed 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 Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center are well-versed and examined in the neuro and ortho findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination determines the treatment plan for your wanted pain relief.
