Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you suffer these conditions, this question is top of mind. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation offers the well-documented, non-surgical, safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as a response to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let us consider back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity pain to be treated non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. What is the possibility of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as 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 mixed with therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire treatment entailed 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of care at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates that chiropractic students learn proper delivery of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine pain seeks the best surgeon, studies confirm that patients with a high likelihood of undergoing surgery are best partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors like your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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
Finally, 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 Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation are well-versed and tested in the neuro and ortho indicators of spine and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination establishes the treatment plan for your desired pain relief.
