Pain Relief with Toronto Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre incorporates Cox Technic into the Toronto treatment plan forToronto 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 increases the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Toronto chiropractic practice) alleviates neuropathic pain, pain that goes into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain with low back pain is a pain! The good news is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is commonly used 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 compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A new study with rats reaffirms that using Cox Technic provides short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s why Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre uses it with our Toronto back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation affects pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin along with interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That is a goal of Toronto chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it is affected by pain.

“You Need It. I don’t.”

Peculiar how recommendations are always for somebody else!

Your Toronto chiropractor is ready to discuss just how valuable it is for you.
