Pain Relief with Groton Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office incorporates Cox Technic into the Groton treatment plan forGroton back pain relief. Cox Technic research demonstrates a 17% increase in disc height along with a 28% increase in area and a lowering of intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Groton chiropractic practice) alleviates neuropathic pain, pain that spreads into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain coming with low back pain is a pain! The good news is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is often utilized to manage low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, eases pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Great news! A new rat study confirms that using Cox Technic provides short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office chooses to use it with our Groton back pain patients!

Further, spinal manipulation influences pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin as well as interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of Groton chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it is upset by pain.

Groton Chiropractic Tip of the Month: Take Calcium

“You Need It. I don’t.”

Curious how recommendations are always for somebody else! A Canadian study shared that, when questioned, young adults knew that calcium is essential for kids and older adults but not how important it was for them. (5) Calcium is important for all ages! Your Groton chiropractor is ready to talk just how valuable it is for you.
