Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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 experience these conditions, this question is top of mind. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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 us talk about back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity pain to be treated non-surgically. This type of care is the forte of your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers. What is the potential of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported to be a good intervention for treating disc height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study found 50% pain relief after distraction spine manipulation in patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction combined with therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire treatment consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation looks to be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of care at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates that chiropractic students learn correct delivery of force in giving 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 possibility of having surgery are optimally partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers are trained and then examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, be informed that the clinical examination of your spine is just as and even more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors of chiropractic like your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers are well-trained and examined in the orthopedic and neurological indicators of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination establishes the treatment plan for your wanted pain relief.
