Cox Technique

What is the Cox Technique?

Cox Technic is non-surgical, doctor-controlled, hands-on spinal manipulation performed with the patient lying on The Cox Table, our proprietary, specially designed chiropractic instrument. This table permits the effective administration of flexion-distraction and decompression adjustment and manipulation.

Well-researched and documented, flexion-distraction and decompression helps relieve spinal pain and return patients to their desired quality of life by …

• dropping intradiscal pressure to as low as -192mm Hg
• widening the spinal canal foraminal area by 28%
• reducing pressure on the spinal nerves
• returning motion to the spinal joints
