Concord, NC Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression. It is ”in” today in back pain management for back pain relief. Pure Chiropractic knows our Concord, NC chiropractic patients hear about spinal decompression, too. Here is a discussion about Concord, NC spinal decompression and how Pure Chiropractic addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.

Concord, NC Spinal Decompression Defined

Spinal decompression is defined by the well-known 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 produced from 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) Pure Chiropractic goes along with this characterization and seeks to do just that with Concord, NC chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.

Concord, NC Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic

Cox Technic offered at Pure Chiropractic is well documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It’s effective. That’s why Pure Chiropractic uses 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 drops 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.

(8) In the 1000 cases study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90 days, curbing back pain sufferers from crossing over into the more costly as well as life-altering category of chronic pain.
