What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you experience these
conditions, this question is top of mind.
Hollstrom & Associates Inc uses the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as an answer to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let’s consider back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have
spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity
pain to be treated
non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your
Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc. What is the potential
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for enhancing disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study found
50% pain relief following distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction mixed with
therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients
with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire
treatment consisted of 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of
care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine
pain seeks the best surgeon, studies confirm
that patients with a high likelihood
of undergoing surgery are optimally partnered
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® chiropractors
like your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Last of all, be informed
that the clinical examination of your spine is just as and even
more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc are
well-trained and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
