Is New York City Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!

January 23, 2018

Face up? Face down? When handling neck pain or low back pain that is an issue for your New York City chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and occasionally the inquisitive patient!) concerning which position is most beneficial. For the New York City 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 New York City spine specialist, prone is certainly desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Rosenberg Wellness Center prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!

BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT

Rosenberg Wellness Center bases its New York City chiropractic treatment on research. Rosenberg Wellness Center keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores showed that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study reported that a hallmark of spinal traction might lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center sees the positives of relaxing the trunk muscles, improving the fluid exchange in the disc (as Rosenberg Wellness Center knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.

COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION

Rosenberg Wellness Center utilizes a distinctive form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is documented in the medical research literature and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain.  In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your New York City chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a uniquely designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers state that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table with Cox Technic can be instructed consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Rosenberg Wellness Center. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor like another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your New York City chiropractor is trained in this. Applying the proper forces allows the best chance to replicate the clinical back pain relief for New York City low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have documented in their research studies. That is exciting to your New York City chiropractor and alleviating to the New York City chiropractic patients at Rosenberg Wellness Center!
