Pain Relief with McHenry Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this McHenry chiropractic practice) relieves 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 good news is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is often utilized to manage low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, eases pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A new rat study confirms that using Cox Technic offers short-term pain-relief similar to that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s the reason OrthoIllinois Chiropractic uses it with our McHenry back pain patients!

Further, spinal manipulation influences 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’s a goal of McHenry chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it’s upset by pain.
