Is Concord, NC Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!

January 23, 2018

Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Concord, NC chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the curious patient!) about which position is most advantageous. For the Concord, NC back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your Concord, NC spine specialist, prone is definitely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Pure Chiropractic prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!

BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT

Pure Chiropractic grounds its Concord, NC chiropractic treatment on research. Pure Chiropractic keeps up with current spinal care research. In a recent study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Pure Chiropractic perceives the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Pure Chiropractic is well aware that nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.

COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION

Pure Chiropractic applies an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented 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 Concord, NC chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and mobile support piece for your legs. Researchers explain that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Pure Chiropractic. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor like another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Concord, NC chiropractor is so trained. Using the proper forces sets up the best chance to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Concord, NC low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research projects. That is thrilling to your Concord, NC chiropractor and relieving to the Concord, NC chiropractic patients at Pure Chiropractic!
