Pain Relief with Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn incorporates Cox Technic into the Ashburn and Herndon treatment plan forAshburn and Herndon back pain relief. Cox Technic research demonstrates a 17% increase in disc height plus a 28% increase in area and a decrease in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic practice) eases neuropathic pain, pain that spreads into the legs that often accompanies low back pain. Neuropathic pain joining low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is often used to manage low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, lessens pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Great news! A new study with rats confirms that using Cox Technic delivers short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s the reason Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn uses it with our Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients!

Also, spinal manipulation affects 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 is a goal of Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment: to calm the nervous system when it’s upset by pain.

Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor is ready to talk just how valuable it is for you.
