Spinal decompression. It’s popular
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows our Fort Wayne
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Here is a discussion about Fort Wayne spinal
decompression and how Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Fort Wayne Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the well-known
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 produced from spinal decompression over time may assist by reducing herniated discs and taking
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)
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc goes along with this description
and aspires to do just that with Fort Wayne chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Fort Wayne Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It’s effective. That’s why Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc chooses to apply 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 creates
lumbar spine intradiscal pressure decreases 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 reduces
pressure on 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, curbing back pain sufferers from entering the more costly as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Fort Wayne spinal decompression
alleviates radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly
compared to medical conservative care, primarily
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients cared for
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic took less
care (3) and said they had less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.
