BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boca Raton chiropractor Dr. Allan DellaBella announced that his practice, Shadowood Chiropractic Center, has had great success using the Cox Technic to treat auto accident injuries. Family chiropractor Dr. DellaBella says he frequently treats patients experiencing chronic low back pain and discomfort following an injury. The chiropractor says that the Cox Technic adjustment technique has been highly effective for pain relief since it is a gentle, low-force adjustment. Dr. DellaBella recommends the technique for patients experiencing chronic pain who could benefit from spinal alignment assistance and do not want to take pain medication or have invasive surgery. This technique is also known as the Cox Technique and the Cox Flexion Distraction technique.
"Cox Technic is highly effective for relieving chronic pain associated with difficult and complex back conditions," said Dr. DellaBella. "Patients come to our Boca Raton chiropractic center because they are searching for pain management alternatives that do not rely on medication or drugs; that's exactly what they get with the Cox Flexion Distraction adjustment."
The Boca Raton chiropractor says he uses a specially crafted chiropractic table to administer a Cox Technic adjustment. The Cox Table is designed in sections that can be moved during treatments. For example, Dr. DellaBella says if he is treating a patient with a herniated disc in the lower back, then the table can be moved to allow the lower back vertebra near the herniation to be adjusted and stabilized. The table can also be angled to the right or the left, depending on the location of pain, in order to provide enhanced relief, says the chiropractor.
"Since the table can be angled and moved in relation to a patient's pain center, this allows for a highly precise adjustment," said Dr. DellaBella. "Consequently, we are able to help patients suffering from chronic pain conditions like sciatica in a conservative way. Some of our patients tell us that prior to discovering Cox adjustments, they feared the only treatment option for them was to undergo painful surgeries or take medication. Now, they have a new path towards pain-free living."
The Boca Raton chiropractor says that Cox Technic allows for correct spinal alignment following an accident injury. For example, the chiropractor says patients who have been in a car accident may have sustained damage to the lumbar spine. Should a disc slip out of alignment, it may compress nearby nerves.
Herniated discs that compress the sciatic nerve can trigger a painful condition known as sciatica. With sciatica, patients experience a radiating and numbing pain sensation along the sciatic nerve, which stretches from the lower back through the buttocks and to the upper legs. "Cox Technic offers hope for patients with sciatica and other chronic conditions," said Dr. DellaBella.
