Is Elgin Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Elgin chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the curious patient!) about which position is most beneficial. For the Elgin 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 Elgin spine specialist, prone is definitely preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Connected Chiropractic prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research agrees!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Connected Chiropractic bases its Elgin chiropractic treatment on research. Connected Chiropractic keeps abreast of13 new spinal care research. In a recent study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study reported that a hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Connected Chiropractic sees the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Connected Chiropractic is well aware that nutrition of the disc counts on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Connected Chiropractic utilizes a special form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Elgin chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and mobile support piece for your legs. Researchers explain that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be instructed reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Connected Chiropractic. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor like another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Elgin chiropractor is so trained. Using the proper forces allows the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Elgin low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research studies. That is exciting to your Elgin chiropractor and relieving to the Elgin chiropractic patients at Connected Chiropractic!
