COX FLEXION DISTRACTION

Dr Mathew Ullom, DC, has gained many years experience using The Cox Flexion Distraction technique at Rocky Mountain Chiro Care. Together with his Fort Collins chiropractic professional colleagues he has successfully treated numerous patients with pain relating to their back, neck, arms and legs. When properly administered the treatment primarily attempts to align the spine, which in turn eliminates pain in respective body areas.

The Fort Collins Cox Flexion Distraction technique relaxes muscles and joints and subsequently extends the patient’s range of motion. Consequently this can also result in better posture. At our Fort Collins Rehab office, the doctor will guide you through slow, repetitive movements that seek to expand the discs in your lower back. Over a period of time the exercises relieve the discs from constant pressure. This in turn reduces inflammation and consequently restores optimal nerve function.

Specialist care at our Fort Collins Rehab office

To ensure the technique takes place correctly, and to facilitate the greatest benefits for his patients, Dr. Ullom has equipped his Fort Collins rehab office with a table specifically designed for Cox Flexion Distraction. The chiropractic equipment is imperative in assisting the chiropractor to separate the spine's joints, to loosen, rehydrate, and widen the gaps, where the disc lives, between the vertebrae in the back to help alleviate pressure on the nerves and restore proper biomechanical function.

The resulting space is imperative to allow the spine to function as a “shock absorber”.   The human body naturally relies on the fluid filled discs in the back to reduce pressure when we are engaged in such activities as running, jumping, walking and general exercise. The Flexion Distraction Technique in our Fort Collins rehab office, yields a great reduction of pain and reduces the underlying causes that often create permanent damage to nerve tissues.

For many patients visiting our highly esteemed Fort Collins Chiropractic office, there is an instant feeling of pain relief following their first treatment.  For other patients it may be several weeks to a month before they feel the effects of the adjustments. However, from past statistics and successes, it is clear that regular treatments with Dr. Ullom will increase your chances of seeing pain decrease and in many cases disappear completely.  The Fort Collins chiropractor at Rocky Mountain Chiro Care has used Cox Flexion Distraction treatment for illnesses such as MS, poor circulation, sciatica, cerebral palsy, back pain, bulging discs or herniations, neurological disease, and subluxation of the spine.

When looking for alternatives to costly surgery of the spine or discs, Cox Flexion Distraction at Rocky Mountain Chiro Care is a real alternative to back surgery. Contact us for any further information about this technique, or any other forms of chiropractic therapy we have available.
