Spinal Decompression in Costa Mesa
Advanced Relief for Disc Issues and Back Pain
Coast Family Chiropractic offers specialized spinal decompression therapy using the Cox selection distraction technique. Dr. Rod Escobedo performs this gentle, manual decompression method as preparation before adjustments, particularly for patients suffering from acute low back pain, disc bulges, or herniated discs. This advanced approach helps open disc spaces, hydrate discs, and relax muscles, creating optimal conditions for effective adjustment and lasting relief.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Unlike traditional decompression tables where patients spend 45 minutes in traction, our approach integrates decompression directly into your treatment session. Dr. Escobedo uses a specialized adjusting table with decompression capabilities to gently pump and open disc spaces before your adjustment. This technique creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing for improved hydration and nutrient flow while preparing your spine for more effective adjustment. The process is comfortable and typically takes just minutes to complete.
Benefits of Cox Selection Distraction Technique
This gentle decompression method offers numerous benefits for patients with acute low back issues or herniated discs. The technique helps hydrate your discs, which often become compressed and dehydrated when injured. It warms up your spine and creates essential movement in areas that may be stiff or painful. Additionally, it relaxes surrounding muscles, reducing tension and resistance before adjustment. Most importantly, it prepares your body to receive maximum benefit from your chiropractic adjustment.
Ideal Candidates for Spinal Decompression
Patients who benefit most from our spinal decompression technique include those with acute low back pain, especially when sitting or walking causes significant discomfort. The technique is particularly effective for herniated or bulging discs, creating space between vertebrae to reduce pressure on nerves and promote natural healing. Dr. Escobedo carefully evaluates each patient to determine if spinal decompression would be beneficial as part of their treatment plan. This gentle approach is suitable for most patients, including those with severe pain.
