Is Tonawanda Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Tonawanda chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the inquisitive patient!) about which position is most beneficial. For the Tonawanda back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your Tonawanda spine specialist, prone is definitely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research agrees!
ADVANTAGES OF PRONE TREATMENT
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation centers its Tonawanda chiropractic treatment on research. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation keeps up with current spinal care research. In a recent study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation sees the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Tonawanda chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers state that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table during Cox Technic can be instructed reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. This means a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor in much the same way as by another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Tonawanda chiropractor is trained in this. Using the proper forces sets up the best opportunity to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Tonawanda low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research projects. That is thrilling to your Tonawanda chiropractor and relieving to the Tonawanda chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation!
