Is La Grande Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!
Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your La Grande chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the curious patient!) regarding which position is most advantageous. For the La Grande back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is best so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your La Grande spine specialist, prone is surely favored as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC prone spinal care is our back pain relief specialty, and research agrees!
PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT
Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC centers its La Grande chiropractic treatment on research. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC keeps up with current 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC sees the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is well aware that 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
Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC utilizes a distinctive form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your La Grande chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers note 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 taught consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC. This indicates that a patient can be treated by one trained chiropractor in much the same way as by another trained chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your La Grande chiropractor is trained in this. Using the proper forces makes available the best chance to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for La Grande low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research projects. That is exciting to your La Grande chiropractor and alleviating to the La Grande chiropractic patients at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC!
