Once diagnosed by a competent health professional, the treatment of herniated disc can be done, in some cases, with conservative treatment, without resorting to surgery. Our method is scientifically recognized: it is a distraction with a high-tech device that enables safe treatment.
The COX technique and its specialized equipment is used at clinic Tag by Drs Charles Harbeck, Alain Parrot and Sylvain Desforges, chiropractors.
What will happen during the treatment?
Lumbar treatment : after a comprehensive exam allowing the clinician to determine the nature of the vertebral infringement, the patient is laid down on the table and a traction force on the lumbar spine is applied, mobilizing the segment of the spine causing the problem. Thus, movements of flexion and extension are induced by the practitioner with precision and gentleness: all these movements are done without feeling any pain.
In some cases, the practitioner must apply pressure on the vertebra with his hand to isolate the vertebral segment treated. Part of the tension is applied manually by the practitioner to the lower back in a painless way. Before starting this treatment, tolerance tests are applied, so that patients can tolerate the treatment.
Cervical Treatment : The patient is lying flat on his belly on the treatment table, allowing a segmental traction and mobilization of the cervical spine.
In the same way, the practitioner will maintain the vertebrae to treat and conduct a combined mobilization in the appropriate direction.
Other types of treatment may be required in some cases.
Every patient is unique, no two patients have with exactly the same condition, the same threshold of tolerance to pain and the same resilience.
In this regard, we customize our treatment to respond to the unique needs of each of our patients, while maintaining a treatment protocol which has been proven.
