Pain Relief with Minster Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Minster Chiropractic Center incorporates Cox Technic into the Minster treatment plan forMinster back pain relief. Cox Technic research demonstrates a 17% increase in disc height as well as a 28% increase in area and a decrease in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Minster chiropractic practice) eases neuropathic pain, pain that extends into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain joining low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is regularly utilized to reduce low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, alleviates pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Great news! A new study with rats reaffirms that using Cox Technic produces short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Minster Chiropractic Center chooses to use it with our Minster back pain patients!

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