Spinal decompression. It’s common
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Pflugerville Wellness Center knows our Pflugerville
chiropractic patients hear about spinal decompression, too. Pflugerville Wellness Center
shares this discussion about Pflugerville spinal
decompression and how Pflugerville Wellness Center addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Pflugerville 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 produced from 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)
Pflugerville Wellness Center agrees with this characterization
and aspires to do just that with Pflugerville chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Pflugerville Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by Pflugerville Wellness Center 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 Pflugerville Wellness Center 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 decreases 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 reduces
pressure on the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
Pflugerville chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic produces back pain relief for lumbar spine back
pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases
study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90
days, preventing back pain sufferers from crossing
over into the more costly as well as life-altering
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Pflugerville spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly
compared to medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Additionally, patients cared for
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic obtained less
care (3) and said they had less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.
