Spinal decompression. It is ”in”
today in back pain management for back pain relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows our Montreal
chiropractic patients are curious about spinal decompression, too. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
shares this discussion about Montreal spinal
decompression and how Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
Montreal Spinal Decompression Defined
Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced
website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and
position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative
pressure generated by spinal decompression over time may assist by reducing herniated discs and taking
pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water,
oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12)
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic goes along with this description
and seeks to do just that with Montreal chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
Montreal Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It is effective. That
is why Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic chooses to apply it. A team of chiropractic
and medical researchers and research-center based as well as private-practice clinicians
design the studies, participate in them, and publish the outcomes of these multi-disciplinary,
federally funded, multi-facility, randomized clinical control trials using the
published protocols documented in textbooks and journals. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Biomechanical Outcomes (6)
Spinal decompression via Cox Technic biomechanically creates
lumbar spine intradiscal pressure drops to as low as -192
mmHg and increases in intervertebral foramen nerve opening area by 28% and disc height by 2mm. (7) Spinal
decompression via Cox Technic allows for cervical spine
intradiscal pressure drops of as much as 168 kPa (kilopascals) which is about
1260 mmHg. (13) Cox Technic spinal decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs and nerves.
Clinical Outcomes
Montreal chiropractic spinal decompression with
Cox Technic produces back pain relief for lumbar spine back
pain patients in an average of 12 visits and 29 days. (8) In the 1000 cases
study, 91% of participating chiropractic patients found relief in less than 90
days, keeping back pain sufferers from entering the more expensive as well as life-changing
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of Montreal spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly
compared to medical conservative care, primarily
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients cared for
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic obtained less
care (3) and reported less pain (4) in the year
following the study than did the PT patients.

spinal manipulation in the form of flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic). Your

lumbar herniated disc (10) and costing 40% less than medical doctor started
care for back pain. (11)
