Hollstrom & Associates Inc Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
What should you consider for treatment of 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 a response to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let’s talk about back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo spine surgery. (1,2) That means 99% of people with back and extremity pain will be treated non-surgically. This type 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 help 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 revealed 50% pain relief following distraction spine manipulation in patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction combined with therapeutic modalities over a month for patients with lumbar disc herniation gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole treatment consisted of 18 visits over a 4-week period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to be a safe and efficacious 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 are taught correct 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 an elevated likelihood of having surgery are optimally matched with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc are trained and then assessed by written and hands-on testing before being certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Lastly, be informed that the clinical examination of your spine is equally 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 tested in the neuro and ortho findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The thorough clinical examination establishes the treatment path to your desired pain relief.
