Pain Relief with Baton Rouge Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers incorporates Cox Technic into the Baton Rouge treatment plan forBaton Rouge back pain relief. Cox Technic research shows a 17% increase in disc height in addition to the 28% increase in area and a decrease in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively increases the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Baton Rouge chiropractic practice) relieves neuropathic pain, pain that goes 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, alleviates pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain compared to those without leg pain. Fantastic news! A new rat study confirms that using Cox Technic delivers short-term pain-relief akin to that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s why Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers uses it with our Baton Rouge back pain patients!

Further, spinal manipulation affects pain regulators in the nervous system like substance-p, neurotensin, and oxytocin along with interleukin and cortisol (“the stress hormone”) levels after treatment. (4) That’s a goal of Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment: to quieten the nervous system when it is upset by pain.

Baton Rouge Chiropractic Tip of the Month: Take Calcium
“You Need It. I don’t.”

Funny how recommendations are always for somebody else! A Canadian study reported that, when asked, young adults knew that calcium is critical for kids and older adults but not how critical it was for them. (5) Calcium is essential for all ages! Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is ready to talk just how valuable it is for you.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers!
