Old Mill Chiropractic 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 suffer these conditions, this question is forefront in your mind. Old Mill 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 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 St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill 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 reported to be a good intervention for enhancing 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 produced significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole treatment consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation looks to be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads care at Old Mill Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine pain seeks the best surgeon, studies verify that patients with a high likelihood of undergoing surgery are best partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic 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
Last of all, be informed 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 St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic are well-trained and examined in the neuro and ortho indicators of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination determines the treatment path to your desired pain relief.
