Spinal decompression. It is common
today in back pain management for back pain relief. New Roads Chiropractic Center knows our New Roads
chiropractic patients hear about spinal decompression, too. Here is a discussion about New Roads spinal
decompression and how New Roads Chiropractic Center addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
New Roads Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the well-known
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 help
reduce herniated discs and take
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)
New Roads Chiropractic Center goes along with this explanation
and aspires to do just that with New Roads chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
New Roads Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by New Roads Chiropractic Center is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It’s effective. That’s why New Roads Chiropractic Center uses it. A team of chiropractic
and medical researchers and research-center based as well as private-practice clinicians
design the studies, participate in them, and publish the outcomes of these multi-disciplinary,
federally funded, multi-facility, randomized clinical control trials using the
published protocols documented in textbooks and journals. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Biomechanical Outcomes (6)
Spinal decompression via Cox Technic biomechanically allows for
lumbar spine intradiscal pressure drops to as low as -192
mmHg and increases in intervertebral foramen nerve opening area by 28% and disc height by 2mm. (7) Spinal
decompression via Cox Technic creates cervical spine
intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about
1260 mmHg. (13) Cox Technic spinal decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
New Roads chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic produces back pain relief for lumbar spine back
pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases
study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90
days, preventing back pain sufferers from crossing
over into the more costly as well as life-altering
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of New Roads spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) superiorly
compared to medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients treated
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic needed less
care (3) and reported less pain (4) in the year
following the study than did the PT patients.
Effectiveness and Cost of Chiropractic Spinal Decompression
New Roads Chiropractic Center offers chiropractic spinal decompression as
spinal manipulation in the form of flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic). Your
New Roads chiropractor at New Roads Chiropractic Center is available to
help New Roads back pain and neck pain patients reduce
and control their pain. New Roads chiropractic spinal decompression in
the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction is insurance coded as spinal
manipulation. It’s chiropractic which current
published reports report as costing less than 2% of the total price to treat a
lumbar herniated disc (10) and costing 40% less than medical doctor initiated
care for back pain. (11)
