Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you have these conditions, this question is forefront in your mind. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office 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 us consider back surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain have spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity pain to be treated non-surgically. This kind of care is the forte of your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office. What is the possibility of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for heightening disc height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study found 50% pain relief after distraction spine manipulation in patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction mixed with therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The whole treatment consisted of 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation appears to be a safe and efficacious non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation shows that chiropractic students are taught proper delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine pain looks for the best surgeon, studies verify that patients with a high likelihood of having surgery are optimally partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are trained and then assessed by written and hands-on testing prior to 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 just as and even more important than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors of chiropractic like your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are well-trained and tested in the orthopedic and neurological findings of spine and extremity pain patients. The detailed clinical examination determines the treatment path to your wanted pain relief.
