If you’re living with chronic back or neck pain, dealing with the aftermath of a spinal injury, or seeking a gentler alternative to traditional chiropractic adjustments, Cox® Technic may be the ideal solution. At London Chiropractic and Massage, this specialized chiropractic approach provides a safe, non-invasive method to relieve pain, restore spinal mobility, and support long-term wellness—without the need for forceful manipulations or surgery.
What Is Cox® Technic?
Cox® Technic is a hands-on, evidence-based chiropractic method developed to reduce pressure on spinal nerves and improve spine health through flexion-distraction and decompression. This technique is performed on a specially engineered table that allows the spine to move in controlled, targeted directions.
Unlike traditional spinal adjustments, Cox® Technic does not involve quick thrusts or popping. Instead, your chiropractor uses slow, rhythmic movements to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on intervertebral discs. This negative pressure can reduce disc bulging, restore disc height, and ease pressure on nearby nerves.
The result is a safer, low-force technique that promotes healing, improves joint function, and reduces inflammation, particularly valuable for patients who require a more delicate form of chiropractic care.
Conditions Treated with Cox® Technic
Cox® Technic is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with complex or persistent spinal issues. Whether your pain is chronic or acute, this method offers relief for several conditions, including:
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Cox® Technic helps retract herniated disc material and decompress affected nerves, reducing symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain radiating to the limbs.
Degenerative Disc Disease
By restoring joint space and encouraging natural disc hydration, this technique helps manage discomfort from disc degeneration.
Spinal Stenosis
The gentle stretching improves the spinal canal’s dimensions, offering relief from nerve compression caused by narrowing of the spine.
Sciatica and Radiating Pain
Cox® Technic relieves the nerve root compression responsible for sciatica, leading to reduced pain and improved mobility.
Post-Surgical Back Pain
For patients recovering from back surgery, this non-invasive technique provides a safe, effective method of pain relief that supports healing without stressing the spine.
Other Spinal Conditions
This technique also helps treat scoliosis, facet syndrome, neck stiffness, and age-related spinal concerns. It’s ideal for seniors, patients with osteoporosis, and those with a history of spinal trauma.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
A session using Cox® Technic is tailored to your comfort and needs. You’ll lie face down on the specially designed table while your chiropractor performs slow, repetitive stretches to the spine. These movements create space between vertebrae, allowing discs to return to proper alignment and easing nerve pressure.
The process is pain-free and highly controlled, with your chiropractor continually monitoring your response to ensure a safe and effective session. Many patients report feeling more mobile and less tense immediately after treatment, with continued improvements over time.
