Pain Relief with Largo Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Largo chiropractic practice) diminishes neuropathic pain, pain that extends 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 manage low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, relieves pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic 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’s the reason Hollstrom & Associates Inc uses it with our Largo back pain patients!

Further, spinal manipulation affects pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin as well as interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That is a goal of Largo chiropractic treatment: to quieten the nervous system when it’s upset by pain.

Curious how recommendations are always for someone else! A Canadian study reported that, when questioned, young adults recognized that calcium is critical for kids and older adults but not how essential it was for them. (5) Calcium is essential for all ages! Your Largo chiropractor is ready to discuss just how valuable it is for you.
