Is Sitka Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Sitka chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the curious patient!) about which position is most advantageous. For the Sitka 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 Sitka spine specialist, prone is surely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka grounds its Sitka chiropractic treatment on research. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a new 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) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka notes the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows nutrition of the disc counts on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is often recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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 Sitka chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers document 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 taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor in much the same way as by another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Sitka chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the appropriate forces sets up the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Sitka low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Sitka chiropractor and alleviating to the Sitka chiropractic patients at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka!
