Is San Jose Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your San Jose chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the curious patient!) concerning which position is most beneficial. For the San Jose 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 San Jose spine specialist, prone is certainly preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Chiropractic Solutions prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research agrees!
ADVANTAGES OF PRONE TREATMENT
Chiropractic Solutions grounds its San Jose chiropractic treatment on research. Chiropractic Solutions keeps up with new spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Chiropractic Solutions notes the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Chiropractic Solutions 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
Chiropractic Solutions utilizes an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your San Jose 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 note 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 consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Chiropractic Solutions. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor like another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your San Jose chiropractor is so trained. Using the proper forces makes available the best opportunity to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for San Jose low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research projects. That is exciting to your San Jose chiropractor and alleviating to the San Jose chiropractic patients at Chiropractic Solutions!
