Spinal decompression. It is popular
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows our Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
shares this discussion about Fort Wayne spinal
decompression and how Aaron Chiropractic Clinic addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Fort Wayne Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced
website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and
position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative
pressure generated by spinal decompression over time may help
reduce herniated discs and take
pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water,
oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12)
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic goes along with this definition
and aspires to do just that with Fort Wayne chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the procedure
known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Fort Wayne Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic offered at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That
is why Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses it. A team of chiropractic
and medical researchers and research-center based as well as private-practice clinicians
design the studies, participate in them, and publish the outcomes of these multi-disciplinary,
federally funded, multi-facility, randomized clinical control trials using the
published protocols documented in textbooks and journals. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Biomechanical Outcomes (6)
Spinal decompression via Cox Technic biomechanically allows for
lumbar spine intradiscal pressure drops to as low as -192
mmHg and increases in intervertebral foramen nerve opening area by 28% and disc height by 2mm. (7) Spinal
decompression via Cox Technic creates cervical spine
intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about
1260 mmHg. (13) Cox Technic spinal decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic produces back pain relief for lumbar spine back
pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases
study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90
days, keeping back pain sufferers from crossing
over into the more expensive as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Fort Wayne spinal decompression
eases radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly
when put up against medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Additionally, patients treated
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic needed less
care (3) and said they had less pain (4) in the year
following the study than did the PT patients.
