Pain Relief with Richmond Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this Richmond chiropractic practice) alleviates neuropathic pain, pain that extends into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain joining low back pain is a pain! The good news is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is commonly used to reduce 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. Great news! A new rat study reaffirms that using Cox Technic provides short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That is the reason Johnson Chiropractic chooses to use it with our Richmond 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 is a goal of Richmond chiropractic treatment: to quieten the nervous system when it’s affected by pain.

Curious how recommendations are always for someone else! A Canadian study shared that, when asked, young adults knew that calcium is essential for kids and older adults but not how critical it was for them. (5) Calcium is important for all ages! Your Richmond chiropractor is ready to talk just how important it is for you.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Johnson Chiropractic!
