Is Fernandina Beach Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Fernandina Beach chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the interested patient!) concerning which position is most beneficial. For the Fernandina Beach 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 Fernandina Beach spine specialist, prone is definitely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Amelia Chiropractic Clinic prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research approves!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic grounds its Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment on research. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a recent study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study reported that a hallmark of spinal traction could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is often included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic utilizes a special form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Fernandina Beach chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely 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 with Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. This means a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor like another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor is so trained. Using the proper forces makes available the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Fernandina Beach low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Fernandina Beach chiropractor and relieving to the Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic!
