Satterwhite Chiropractic Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
What should you consider for treatment of your spine and/or extremity pain, your back and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you experience these conditions, this question is forefront in your mind. Satterwhite Chiropractic presents 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’s talk about back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have spine surgery. (1,2) That means 99% of people with back and extremity pain will be treated non-surgically. This kind of care is the strength of your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic. What is the potential of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is reported to be a good intervention for enhancing 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 combined with therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire treatment entailed 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation looks to be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads care at Satterwhite Chiropractic.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation demonstrates that chiropractic students are taught correct delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine pain seeks the best surgeon, studies confirm that patients with an elevated possibility of undergoing surgery are optimally matched with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic are trained and then assessed by written and hands-on testing before being certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, be informed that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors of chiropractic like your Oxford chiropractor at Satterwhite Chiropractic are most learned and examined in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination determines the treatment plan for your wanted pain relief.
