Is Ashburn and Herndon Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the curious patient!) regarding which position is most beneficial. For the Ashburn and Herndon 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 Ashburn and Herndon spine specialist, prone is certainly preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research approves!
BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn bases its Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment on research. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn keeps up with current spinal care research. In a recent study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction might lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn uses 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 Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable 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 Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor in much the same way as by another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor is trained in this. Using the appropriate forces allows the best chance to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Ashburn and Herndon low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research projects. That is exciting to your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor and alleviating to the Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn!
