Is Oxford Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Oxford chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the curious patient!) regarding which position is most advantageous. For the Oxford back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Oxford spine specialist, prone is definitely preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Satterwhite Chiropractic prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Satterwhite Chiropractic grounds its Oxford chiropractic treatment on research. Satterwhite Chiropractic keeps abreast of13 new spinal care research. In a recent 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 could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic sees the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Satterwhite Chiropractic is well aware that nutrition of the disc counts on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Satterwhite Chiropractic uses 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 Oxford chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers state that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table during Cox Technic can be instructed reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Satterwhite Chiropractic. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor in much the same way as by another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Oxford chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the proper forces makes available the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Oxford low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research projects. That is exciting to your Oxford chiropractor and relieving to the Oxford chiropractic patients at Satterwhite Chiropractic!
