Research
- Flexion decompression allows the following:
- 1000 cases study
Clinical research published by Cox et al in Topics in
Clinical Chiropractic 1996, 3(3), shows the following:
- More than 9 OUT OF 10 patients (91%) were improved
within 3 months.
- Study #2--2 R18 AH10001-04--was awarded to do a
comparison study of flexion decompression and medical
conservative care in the form of physical therapy. Findings
from this study were presented at the International Society
for the Study of the Lumbar Spine conference in June
2004 in Singapore. Results show that for chronic/severe,
chronic/acute and radoculopathy patients (extremity
pain, sciatica, leg pain), flexion decompression did
significantly better than physical therapy. Physical
therapy fared better for chronic/recurrent back pain.
Collaborators were the National University of Health
Sciences Research Department and the Loyola University
Stritch School of Medicine (Chicago).
- Flexion decompression allows the following:
- Reduction of intradiscal pressure to as low as -192
mm Hg*, - Increase in intervertebral disc height*, and
- Increase in intervertebral foramen size by 28%**.
- 1000 cases study
Clinical research published by Cox et al in Topics in
Clinical Chiropractic 1996, 3(3), shows the following:
- It takes 12 visits to maximum improvement *
(regardless of diagnosis) - It takes 29 days to maximum improvement *
(regardless of diagnosis) - Maximum improvement = 3 months of care, 100%
relief of pain, return to pre-injury state
- More than 9 OUT OF 10 patients (91%) were improved
within 3 months.
