Is Fort Wayne Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Fort Wayne chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the interested patient!) as to which position is most beneficial. For the Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne spine specialist, prone is definitely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Aaron Chiropractic Clinic prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research agrees!
ADVANTAGES OF PRONE TREATMENT
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic centers its Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment on research. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is often recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses 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. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Fort Wayne chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers explain that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be taught reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. This means a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor like another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is so trained. Applying the appropriate forces allows the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Fort Wayne low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Fort Wayne chiropractor and alleviating to the Fort Wayne chiropractic patients at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic!
