Is Carrolltown 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 Carrolltown chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the inquisitive patient!) as to which position is most advantageous. For the Carrolltown back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Carrolltown spine specialist, prone is surely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research agrees!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation bases its Carrolltown chiropractic treatment on research. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation keeps up with current spinal care research. In a new 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 reported that a hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is well aware that nutrition of the disc counts on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is often included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation applies a special 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 applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Carrolltown chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and mobile support piece for your legs. Researchers document that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be instructed reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one trained chiropractor in much the same way as by another trained chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Carrolltown chiropractor is so trained. Using the appropriate forces allows the best opportunity to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Carrolltown low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Carrolltown chiropractor and alleviating to the Carrolltown chiropractic patients at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation!
