Is Murfreesboro Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!

January 23, 2018

Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Murfreesboro chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the interested patient!) as to which position is most beneficial. For the Murfreesboro back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Murfreesboro spine specialist, prone is definitely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Most Chiropractic Clinic prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!

PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT

Most Chiropractic Clinic centers its Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment on research. Most Chiropractic Clinic 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 may well lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic notes the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Most Chiropractic Clinic knows nutrition of the disc counts on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.

COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION

Most Chiropractic Clinic applies a distinctive form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain.  In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Murfreesboro chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving 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 such a table with Cox Technic can be instructed consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Most Chiropractic Clinic. This means a patient can be treated by one trained chiropractor in much the same way as by another trained chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is trained in this. Using the appropriate forces allows the best chance to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Murfreesboro low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research projects. That is thrilling to your Murfreesboro chiropractor and alleviating to the Murfreesboro chiropractic patients at Most Chiropractic Clinic!
