Is Groton Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Groton chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the interested patient!) regarding which position is most advantageous. For the Groton back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Groton spine specialist, prone is definitely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research agrees!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office bases its Groton chiropractic treatment on research. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office keeps up with new spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study reported that a hallmark of spinal traction might lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office notes the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows nutrition of the disc counts on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office applies an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Groton chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers note that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table with Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor in much the same way as by another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Groton chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the appropriate forces makes available the best opportunity to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Groton low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research studies. That is thrilling to your Groton chiropractor and alleviating to the Groton chiropractic patients at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office!
