Many chiropractors have not had the required education in this technique which is why it is rarely available. "Most of my patients who've tried pain management for sciatica symptoms, slipped disc, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, etc... type problems that apply too much pressure on nerves, disc, and tight muscles pinching nerves, respond dramatically to Cox Flexion Spinal Decompression type healthcare and are usually not needing pain management thereafter." Dr. Potter.
The "key" to this type of spinal decompression healthcare is the fact that it decompresses the entire spine/hips/wrists/ankles/knees rather than one area, as most lumbar spinal muscles attach to the upper back, shoulders, and neck; thereby, providing a more thorough treatment to the entire spine. This helps the muscles to stop creating so much pressure on the nerves; thereby, solving such frequent needs for chiropractic care. In fact, the cervical spine and the shape of its curve are directly related to the curvature of the lumbar spine, along with full spine muscles that attach from the neck to the low back.
Therefore, treating the full spine will help the overall function of the neck, mid, and low back to be restored the majority of the time.
The alternative devices most facilities utilize are hands-free, don't require any education, and don't provide the triple-action care mentioned above as it only decompresses in a very slow (one angle of decompression that is minimally productive) way.
When Cox Flexion spinal decompression that pulls at all angles of the spine is combined with muscle stripping and trigger point compressions, this is "key" in order to achieve maximum results in a reasonable period of time, typically 1-3 visits in order to achieve satisfactory results.
Don't try to decide if this is true, come in ASAP and get the treatment and then decide, you'll be glad you did; especially, if you've had other forms of decompression treatment.
Also, BEWARE many facilities offer OVER THE COUNTER/GIMMICK forms of treatment intended to attract attention, publicity, or business as these are considered as alternative services NOT covered by healthcare insurance companies as there is NOT acceptable medical research to support the validity for the medical necessity to treat specific medical conditions as they are only considered as theories without supporting factual data; otherwise, the following would be paid by health insurance companies: Stem cell treatment/patches, Cryo-therapy, PEMF pulsed electromagnetic field, cold laser, TENS (at over the counter microcurrent frequencies), Jeanie RUB, etc. for added care with ChiroPractic care as a way for the clinic to shine for advertising purposes. You see, these forms of care are allowed by the FDA because they have found that these forms of care are not harmful to your health.
