In a randomized, controlled study comparing chiropractic flexion-distraction (Cox® Technic) with medical care (active exercise), flexion-distraction was superior in relieving radiculopathy sciatica (leg pain). Patient were randomized to two groups for care.
Those with radiculopathy who were treated with flexion-distraction alone (mind you, no physical modalities or exercise were allowed by the treating chiropractic physicians)
had significantly greater relief. The study was published in the
European Spine Journal.
