Ashburn Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression. It is ”in” today in back pain management for back pain relief. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows our Ashburn chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares this discussion about Ashburn spinal decompression and how Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.

Ashburn Spinal Decompression Defined

Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative pressure generated by spinal decompression over time may assist by reducing herniated discs and taking pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn agrees with this explanation and seeks to do just that with Ashburn chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the chiropractic method known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

(7) Spinal decompression via Cox Technic creates cervical spine intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about 1260 mmHg.

(8) In the 1000 cases study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90 days, keeping back pain sufferers from crossing over into the more expensive as well as life-altering category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Ashburn spinal decompression reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly compared to medical conservative care, primarily physical therapy (PT).
