Spinal decompression. It’s common
today in back pain management for back pain relief. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions knows our San Jose
chiropractic patients hear about spinal decompression, too. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions
shares this discussion about San Jose spinal
decompression and how McMurray Chiropractic Solutions addresses spinal decompression with Cox Technic.
San Jose 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) McMurray
Chiropractic Solutions concurs with this definition
and aspires to do just that with San Jose chiropractic care via spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
San Jose Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox Technic
Cox Technic used by McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is well
documented with biomechanical and clinical research studies to reduce back pain
and neck pain and drop intradiscal pressures. It’s effective. That
is why McMuray Chiropractic Solutions uses 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 falls 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 creates 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
San Jose 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 crossing
over into the more costly as well as life-altering
category of chronic pain. (8) This type of San Jose spinal decompression
reduces radiculopathy (leg pain) commandingly
compared to medical conservative care, mainly
physical therapy (PT). (9) Further, patients cared for
with spinal decompression as Cox Technic obtained less
care (3) and said they had less pain (4) in the following year of the study than did the PT patients.

the form of Cox Technic flexion distraction is insurance coded as spinal

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