Baton Rouge Chiropractic Healthy News from Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers July 2017

Manual therapy spinal mobilization is preferred over physiotherapy by chronic back pain patients with disc degeneration for back pain intensity reduction and disability. (1) Not surprising to Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That’s just what chiropractic presents – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care endeavors to first calm and ease pain then incorporate exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to curb future back pain. Back pain relief is a team effort!  Using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management offers the best of both worlds: gentle stretching treatment to painful segments that reduces intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is trained and ready to share the Baton Rouge back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients!
