Spinal decompression. It’s ”in”
today in back pain management for back pain relief. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR knows our Colorado Springs
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR
shares this discussion about Colorado Springs spinal
decompression and how The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Colorado 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 assist by reducing herniated discs and taking
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)
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR agrees with this explanation
and aspires to do just that with Colorado Springs chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the chiropractic method
known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Colorado Springs Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic offered at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That
is why The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR chooses to apply 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 falls 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 takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
Colorado Springs chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic produces 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 Colorado Springs spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly
when put up against medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients treated
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic needed less
care (3) and described less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.
Effectiveness and Cost of Chiropractic Spinal Decompression
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR offers chiropractic spinal decompression as
spinal manipulation in the form of flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic). Your
Colorado Springs chiropractor at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is ready to
help Colorado Springs back pain and neck pain patients lessen
and control their pain. Colorado Springs chiropractic spinal decompression in
the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction is insurance coded as spinal
manipulation. It’s chiropractic which current
published studies report as being less
expensive than 2% of the total cost to treat a
lumbar herniated disc (10) and costing 40% less than medical doctor started
care for back pain. (11)
