Check out these amazing benefits of the Cox protocol technique for chiropractic
🦴Flexion distraction is a type of spinal manipulation that involves a gentle, rhythmic stretching and decompression of the spine. It is commonly used in chiropractic care, particularly for conditions like disc herniations, sciatica, and lower back pain. Scientific research supports its benefits for spinal health in several key ways:
1. Decompression of spinal discs
2. Reduction of lumbar disc pressure
3. Improvement in nerve function
4. Increased range of motion
5. Pain relief and muscle relaxation
Study: Deer, et al. (2012), published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, found that flexion distraction therapy provided significant relief for patients with chronic low back pain and radiculopathy, improving both pain levels and functional capacity‼️
