European Spine Journal estimated the overall prevalence of lumbar disc herniations, including symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, to be around 20-25% of the US population.

Cox Technic is a chiropractic technique that can effectively treat disc herniations in Grimes IA. Disc herniations occur when the outer layer of the spinal disc tears, allowing the inner, gel-like material to leak out and compress nearby nerves or the spinal cord. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.

Chiropractic Techniques in Grimes IA for Disc Pain

Cox Technic can gently decompress the spine, reducing the pressure on the affected disc and allowing it to heal naturally. The technique's rhythmic, pumping motion can also help increase circulation to the affected area, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

The flexion-distraction technique used in the Cox technic can also help to improve the mobility of the affected spinal segment, reducing stiffness, removing pain, and improving the range of motion.
