Fort Wayne Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression. It is popular today in back pain management for back pain relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic shares this discussion about Fort Wayne spinal decompression and how Aaron Chiropractic Clinic addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.

Fort Wayne Spinal Decompression Defined

Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced 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 generated by spinal decompression over time may help reduce herniated discs and take 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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic goes along with this definition and aspires to do just that with Fort Wayne chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the procedure known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.

Fort Wayne Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic

Cox Technic offered at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is well documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That is why Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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 allows for 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 creates 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.
