Pain Relief with La Grande Chiropractic Care: Cox Technic

Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC incorporates Cox Technic into the La Grande treatment plan forLa Grande back pain relief. Cox Technic research demonstrates a 17% increase in disc height plus a 28% increase in area and a decrease in intradiscal pressures to as low as a -192 mmHg. (1) Traction effectively raises the disc height of lower lumbar spine discs. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recognizes the good of this increase.

And flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic, distraction manipulation as used in this La Grande chiropractic practice) alleviates neuropathic pain, pain that goes into the legs that often comes with low back pain. Neuropathic pain coming with low back pain is a pain! The fortunate thing is that non-thrust, non-drug spinal manipulation like Cox Technic is often utilized to reduce low back pain. Just one month of Cox Technic, a form of chiropractic spinal manipulation, eases pain in chronic low back pain patients with leg pain contrasted with those without leg pain. Great news! A new rat study reaffirms that using Cox Technic offers short-term pain-relief like that in human clinical studies. (3) That’s why Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses it with our La Grande back pain patients!

Also, 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’s a goal of La Grande chiropractic treatment: to soother the nervous system when it’s distressed by pain.

La Grande Chiropractic Tip of the Month: Take Calcium
“You Need It. I don’t.”

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

We look forward to seeing you soon at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC!
