Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique
Developed by Dr. James Cox, this highly effective chiropractic technique blends osteopathic principles with precise, targeted spinal adjustments. It offers a gentle, non-invasive solution for low back and leg pain—often helping patients avoid the need for surgery.
What to Expect
One of the first things patients notice is the specialized treatment table used in this technique. This table allows for controlled, gentle movements that apply traction to the spine. As the spine is carefully stretched, pressure on spinal discs and facet joints is reduced, helping to relieve pain and improve mobility.
The Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique enables us to restore proper motion and alignment to spinal joints without force or discomfort. While lying on the table, the effects of gravity are minimized, allowing us to gently guide the spine through a more natural range of motion.
Patients often describe the experience as relaxing and comfortable. We consider it one of the most effective, conservative treatments available for spinal conditions.
