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.
Satterwhite Chiropractic 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 type of care is the forte of your
Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic. What is the possibility
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for enhancing disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed
50% pain relief after 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 produced 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 seems to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Satterwhite Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with a high likelihood
of undergoing surgery are best partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing before 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 equally as and even
more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination
determines the treatment plan for your desired
pain relief.
