Sitka KNEE PAIN RELIEF WITH COX® FLEXION-DISTRACTION

Sitka knee pain is a pain that Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka sees often. Pain medications and surgical approaches are commonly recommended while a new non-surgical chiropractic protocol is supplying quite promising results. Principles of Cox® Technic flexion distraction and decompression - a technique utilized in clinic all the time for Sitka back pain and neck pain relief - were amended for application with knee pain. They demonstrated success in easing knee pain. Overall, knee pain patients’ mean pain scores fell from 7.7 to 1.8 on a 10 point scale with 10 being the worst pain in a mean of 5.3 visits over 3 weeks. More specifically, acute knee pain patients’ pain scores fell more dramatically from a mean of 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. Chronic knee pain patients’ scores dropped from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks. None of the patients had any adverse reactions. (1) It's gentle, relieving, and comfortable.  Listen to a PODCAST by the author of this paper about his clinical experience with treating knee pain. This is an exciting addition to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka’s Sitka chiropractic care! Sitka knee pain sufferers are invited to feel this gentle, relieving Sitka knee pain treatment!

A simple series of hip abductor exercises helped reduce pain and improve function in a group of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka will give you some hip strengthening exercise moves you can do at home along with the Sitka chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox Technic in office to experience such relief yourself.
