Cox® Technic
Spinal Manipulation
Cox® Technic distraction spine manipulation is a specialized technique used to reduce mechanical nerve compression by lowering disc pressure on the nerve and increasing the size of the nerve opening that the nerve exits from the spine.
Improved circulation and reduced local irritation may reduce the chemical agents in the spine and around the nerves that cause pain and disability. Specialized MRI studies do show improved circulation following spine manipulation as well as increased ranges of motion of the spine.
