Spinal decompression. It is common
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows our Fernandina Beach
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
shares this discussion about Fernandina Beach spinal
decompression and how Amelia Chiropractic Clinic addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Fernandina Beach Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced
website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and
position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative
pressure produced from spinal decompression over time may help
reduce herniated discs and take
pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water,
oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12)
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic concurs with this description
and seeks to do just that with Fernandina Beach chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That’s why Amelia Chiropractic Clinic chooses to apply it. A team of chiropractic
and medical researchers and research-center based as well as private-practice clinicians
design the studies, participate in them, and publish the outcomes of these multi-disciplinary,
federally funded, multi-facility, randomized clinical control trials using the
published protocols documented in textbooks and journals. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Biomechanical Outcomes (6)
Spinal decompression via Cox Technic biomechanically allows for
lumbar spine intradiscal pressure drops to as low as -192
mmHg and increases in intervertebral foramen nerve opening area by 28% and disc height by 2mm. (7) Spinal
decompression via Cox Technic allows for cervical spine
intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about
1260 mmHg. (13) Cox Technic spinal decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
Fernandina Beach chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic results in back pain relief for lumbar spine back
pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases
study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90
days, preventing back pain sufferers from entering the more high-priced as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Fernandina Beach spinal decompression
lessens radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly
when put up against medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients cared for
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic took less
care (3) and described less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.
