Is Williamson Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your Williamson chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the inquisitive patient!) regarding which position is most advantageous. For the Williamson back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Williamson spine specialist, prone is definitely desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is offered. At Apple Country Chiropractic prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research agrees!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Apple Country Chiropractic grounds its Williamson chiropractic treatment on research. Apple Country Chiropractic keeps abreast of13 new spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study reported that a hallmark of spinal traction could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic sees the values of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Apple Country Chiropractic is well aware that nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is often included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Apple Country Chiropractic utilizes a special form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Williamson chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers document 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 reliably for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Apple Country Chiropractic. This means a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor in much the same way as by another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Williamson chiropractor is so trained. Using the appropriate forces sets up the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Williamson low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Williamson chiropractor and alleviating to the Williamson chiropractic patients at Apple Country Chiropractic!
