Pain Relief with St Peters Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Old Mill Chiropractic incorporates Cox Technic into the St Peters treatment plan forSt Peters back pain relief. Cox Technic research shows a 17% increase in disc height plus a 28% increase in area and a lowering of intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this St Peters chiropractic practice) alleviates neuropathic pain, pain that extends into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain with low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is commonly utilized to reduce low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, lessens pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A new study with rats reaffirms that using Cox Technic offers short-term pain-relief akin to that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s the reason Old Mill Chiropractic chooses to use it with our St Peters back pain patients!

Further, spinal manipulation affects pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin as well as interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of St Peters chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it is upset by pain.

“You Need It. I don’t.”

Peculiar how recommendations are always for somebody else!
