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 experience these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre uses the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as an answer to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let us consider back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo
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
Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. What is the possibility
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for heightening disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study found
50% pain relief following 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 gave significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole
treatment entailed 18 visits over a 4-week
period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn correct delivery
of force in delivering 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 having surgery are optimally partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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
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 Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre are
well-trained and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
