Is St Peters Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your St Peters chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the interested patient!) regarding which position is most advantageous. For the St Peters back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your St Peters spine specialist, prone is surely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Old Mill Chiropractic prone spinal care is our back pain relief domain, and research agrees!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Old Mill Chiropractic centers its St Peters chiropractic treatment on research. Old Mill Chiropractic 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 may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic sees the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Old Mill Chiropractic knows nutrition of the disc counts on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is often recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Old Mill Chiropractic uses an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your St Peters chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and mobile support piece for your legs. Researchers document that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Old Mill Chiropractic. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor like another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your St Peters chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the appropriate forces sets up the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for St Peters low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research studies. That is thrilling to your St Peters chiropractor and alleviating to the St Peters chiropractic patients at Old Mill Chiropractic!
