Pain Relief with Carrolltown Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Carrolltown chiropractic practice) diminishes neuropathic pain, pain that extends into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain coming with low back pain is a pain! The good news is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is often utilized to manage low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, eases pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Great news! A new rat study confirms that using Cox Technic delivers short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That is why Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation chooses to use it with our Carrolltown back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation influences pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin along with interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of Carrolltown chiropractic treatment: to quieten the nervous system when it’s affected by pain.
