What Is the Cox Technique and How Does It Work?

The Cox Technique is a treatment created by Dr. James M. Cox that involves using the hands to apply gentle stretches to the lower spine. By following this procedure, the adjustment helps heal your spine naturally. The procedure is performed by a trained chiropractor on a table that is designed by Dr. Cox. Following its success, Cox Flexion Distraction Technique is one of the most practiced forms of restoring the spinal joints to their normal alignment and restoring the patient’s range of motion.

A chiropractor adjusts the cox table at different sections to manipulate the effects of gravity and then applies gentle pressure on your back using his or her hands. Applying gentle pressure is usually slow and repetitive to provide natural healing. Patients will often experience pain relief almost immediately. The chiropractor may also combine the Cox Technique with other treatments to help with the recovery.

Benefits of the Cox Technique

The leading benefits of applying the Cox Technique include:

  • Reduced pain in the back, legs, arms, and neck
  • Helps with rehabilitation after spinal surgery
  • Reduced pain in the discs that may result from excess pressure
  • Increased blood circulation
  • Improved posture
  • Widened spinal canal
  • Restore range of motion to the spinal joints
  • Treats neck pain caused by herniated or bulging discs

Since it is a gentle process, the Cox Technique is also used on the elderly or those experiencing significant back pain. Also, many surgeons recommend the Cox Technique to their patients as an effective alternative to surgery.
