Pain Relief with Concord, NC Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Pure Chiropractic incorporates Cox Technic into the Concord, NC treatment plan forConcord, NC back pain relief. Cox Technic research demonstrates a 17% increase in disc height along with a 28% increase in area and a decrease in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Pure Chiropractic recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Concord, NC chiropractic practice) diminishes neuropathic pain, pain that spreads into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain with low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is regularly used to control low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, lessens pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Great news! A new study with rats reaffirms that using Cox Technic offers short-term pain-relief similar to that in human clinical studies. (3) That is why Pure Chiropractic chooses to use it with our Concord, NC back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation affects 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 is a goal of Concord, NC chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it’s upset by pain.
