Is Largo Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Largo chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the interested patient!) as to which position is most advantageous. For the Largo back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Largo spine specialist, prone is definitely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Hollstrom & Associates Inc prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Hollstrom & Associates Inc bases its Largo chiropractic treatment on research. Hollstrom & Associates Inc keeps abreast of13 new 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 could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc perceives the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Hollstrom & Associates Inc applies an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain.

This indicates that a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor like another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Largo chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the appropriate forces makes available the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Largo low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research projects. That is thrilling to your Largo chiropractor and alleviating to the Largo chiropractic patients at Hollstrom & Associates Inc!
