Spinal decompression. It is ”in”
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Cross Chiropractic Center knows our Sandy Springs
chiropractic patients hear about spinal decompression, too. Cross Chiropractic Center
shares this discussion about Sandy Springs spinal
decompression and how Cross Chiropractic Center addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Sandy Springs Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced
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 generated by spinal decompression over time may help
reduce herniated discs and take
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)
Cross Chiropractic Center concurs with this definition
and seeks to do just that with Sandy Springs chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the chiropractic method
known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Sandy Springs Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic offered at Cross Chiropractic Center is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That’s why Cross Chiropractic Center uses 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 drops 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 allows for 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
Sandy Springs chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic results in 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, keeping back pain sufferers from entering the more costly as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Sandy Springs spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly
compared to medical conservative care, mainly
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 year
following the study than did the PT patients.
Effectiveness and Cost of Chiropractic Spinal Decompression
Cross Chiropractic Center offers chiropractic spinal decompression as
spinal manipulation in the form of flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic). Your
Sandy Springs chiropractor at Cross Chiropractic Center is ready to
help Sandy Springs back pain and neck pain patients lessen
and control their pain. Sandy Springs chiropractic spinal decompression in
the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction is insurance coded as spinal
manipulation. It’s chiropractic which recently
published reports detail as costing less than 2% of the total fee to treat a
lumbar herniated disc (10) and costing 40% less than medical doctor originated
care for back pain. (11)
