Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic uses the well-documented, non-surgical, safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as an answer to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let us talk about back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo spine surgery. (1,2) That means 99% of people with back and extremity pain will be treated non-surgically. This type of care is the forte of your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. What is the potential of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported to be a good intervention for heightening disc height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed 50% pain relief following distraction spine manipulation in patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction combined with therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole treatment consisted of 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation explains that chiropractic students learn correct delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine pain wants 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic are trained and then examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic are most learned and tested in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination establishes the treatment plan for your desired pain relief.
