What treatment considerations should you think about for your spine and/or extremity pain, your back
and leg pain, your neck and arm pain? When you experience these
conditions, this question is forefront in your mind.
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers the well-documented, non-surgical,
safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as an answer to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let us talk about back
surgery. Less than 1% of people with low back, neck, and/or leg and arm pain undergo
spine surgery. (1,2) That leaves 99% of people with back and extremity
pain to be treated
non-surgically. This type of care is the strength of your
La Grande chiropractor at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC. What is the potential
of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to help
you?
THE COX® FLEXION DISTRACTION OPTION
Flexion distraction spine manipulation is described as a good intervention for heightening disc
height loss in disc herniation patients. (3) Another study revealed
50% pain relief following distraction spine manipulation in
patients with low back pain. (4) Cox® distraction combined with
therapeutic modalities over a 4-week treatment period for patients
with lumbar disc herniation produced significant improvement in
muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire
treatment entailed 18 visits in a month of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to
be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients
with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety always leads
care at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The review of safety of spine manipulation explains
that chiropractic students learn proper delivery
of force in giving Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Just as a patient looking for surgical treatment for spine
pain looks for the best surgeon, studies verify
that patients with a high probability
of having surgery are best matched
with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners
like your La Grande chiropractor at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC are trained and then
examined by written and hands-on testing before being
certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
Last of all, understand
that the clinical examination of your spine is equally as and even
more valuable than any MRI findings. (8) Cox® certified doctors
of chiropractic like your La Grande chiropractor at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC are
most learned and examined in the neuro
and ortho findings of spine
and extremity pain patients. The extensive clinical examination
establishes the treatment path to your wanted
pain relief.
