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 have these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Minster Chiropractic Center presents 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 us consider 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
Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center. What is the possibility
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for treating 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 mixed 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 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 always leads
care at Minster Chiropractic Center.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows
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 wants the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with an elevated likelihood
of having surgery are optimally matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center are trained and then
assessed by written and hands-on testing before being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is just as and even
more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho indicators of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
