Accu Spina Decompression
New Roads Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is becoming a common approach for managing back pain. At New Roads Chiropractic Center, we hear patients mention it often—and we’re here to clarify what it is and how we use it through Cox® Technic flexion distraction.
New Roads Spinal Decompression Defined
WebMD defines spinal decompression as gentle spinal stretching that alters the position and force of the spine to take pressure off spinal discs. This creates negative pressure that may help retract herniated discs and relieve pressure on nerves. Over time, it draws in water, oxygen, and nutrients to promote disc healing.
New Roads Chiropractic Center embraces this approach and applies it using Cox® Technic spinal manipulation, a gentle, research-backed chiropractic method.
New Roads Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: Cox® Technic
Cox® Technic is supported by extensive biomechanical and clinical research. It’s proven to reduce neck and back pain while lowering intradiscal pressures. That’s why we use it.
Researchers and clinicians across chiropractic and medical fields have conducted federally funded, multi-site randomized control trials using this technique. The results are published in scientific journals and chiropractic textbooks.
Biomechanical Outcomes
- Lumbar disc pressure can drop to as low as −192 mmHg
- Intervertebral foramen (nerve openings) increase by 28%
- Disc height increases by approximately 2mm
- Cervical spine disc pressure can drop by up to 168 kPa (1260 mmHg)
All of this results in less pressure on nerves and discs—supporting both relief and healing.
Clinical Outcomes
- Most patients experience relief in an average of 12 visits over 29 days
- 91% of patients in a large study improved within 90 days
- Better outcomes than standard medical care (like PT) for reducing leg pain (radiculopathy)
- Patients required less follow-up care and reported less pain one year later compared to those in physical therapy
Effectiveness and Cost
We offer spinal decompression through Cox® Technic flexion distraction, which is insurance-coded as spinal manipulation. It’s cost-effective and research-backed.
- Costs less than 2% of the total expense to treat a herniated disc
- 40% cheaper than medical doctor–led care for back pain
