Is Montreal 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 Montreal chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the interested patient!) about which position is most beneficial. For the Montreal 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 Montreal spine specialist, prone is surely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research approves!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic grounds its Montreal chiropractic treatment on research. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic perceives the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is well aware that nutrition of the disc relies on this and is the reason disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.
COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic applies an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Montreal chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially 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 this type of table with Cox Technic can be taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. 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 Montreal chiropractor is so trained. Applying the proper forces allows the best opportunity to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Montreal low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research projects. That is exciting to your Montreal chiropractor and alleviating to the Montreal chiropractic patients at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic!
