Pain Relief with Sitka Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Sitka chiropractic practice) diminishes neuropathic pain, pain that goes into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain with low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is regularly used to control 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. Fantastic news! A new rat study reaffirms that using Cox Technic provides short-term pain-relief akin to that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka uses it with our Sitka 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 Sitka chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it is upset by pain.
