OrthoIllinois 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 top of mind. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic presents 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’s talk about back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity pain to be treated non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois 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 described as a good intervention for enhancing 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 combined with therapeutic modalities over a month for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire treatment consisted of 18 visits in a month 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 OrthoIllinois Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine pain wants the best surgeon, studies confirm that patients with a high probability of undergoing surgery are optimally partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors like your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois 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
Finally, understand that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors of chiropractic like your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic are well-trained and tested in the neuro and ortho indicators of spine and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination establishes the treatment path to your wanted pain relief.
