Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Treats Back, Neck, Arm and Leg Pain
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. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC presents the well-documented, non-surgical, safe and gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management as a response to that question.
BACK SURGERY
First, let’s consider 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 Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC. What is the possibility of such non-surgical treatment as Cox® Distraction Spine Manipulation to benefit 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 gave significant improvement in muscle strength, disability, and relief of sciatica. The entire treatment entailed 18 visits over a 4-week period of care. Cox® distraction manipulation seems to be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation. (5) Safety is always forefront of care at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC.
SAFETY OF COX® TECHNIC
The study of safety of spine manipulation shows that chiropractic students learn correct delivery of force in delivering Cox® manipulation to patients. (6) Similar to a patient seeking surgical treatment for spine pain looks for the best surgeon, studies verify that patients with an elevated likelihood of undergoing surgery are optimally partnered with a non-surgical spine specialist. (7) Certified Cox® practitioners like your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC are trained and then examined by written and hands-on testing prior to being certified in Cox® distraction manipulation.
CLINICAL EXAM IMPORTANT IN THE COX® TECHNIC SYSTEM
