Cox Technic

Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression

Developed by James M. Cox DC DACBR, Cox® Technic is a gentle, non-force chiropractic method that decompresses the spine using a specially designed table. It’s a safe, conservative alternative to surgery for many types of spinal pain.

Place in Healthcare

63.7% of chiropractic physicians report using flexion-distraction in practice. New Roads Chiropractic Center offers this technique as a non-surgical first line treatment for back, neck, arm, and leg pain—especially for patients with disc herniation or spinal stenosis. It’s also effective for less complex conditions.

The Effects

• Increases intervertebral disc space
• Reduces disc pressure to support healing
• Enlarges spinal nerve openings to reduce compression
• Restores spinal segment range of motion

The Healing Benefits

• Improved circulation to absorb pain-causing chemicals and deliver nutrients
• Disc bulging reduction from lowered pressure
• Relief from pinched nerves in stenosis cases
• More spinal mobility and better nerve stimulation
• Pain centralizes—moving away from the extremities back to the source

Healing typically occurs over 3 months. Some patients get full relief, others improve enough to manage their condition with continued care and healthy habits.

The Table

Our Cox® Table gently stretches and decompresses the spine. It lowers pressure inside discs, increases disc height, and opens spinal canals while restoring motion between spinal segments.

The Treatment

Treatment is personalized for each region of the spine using precise protocols. Depending on the pain pattern and improvement level, we may treat with patients lying face down or side-lying for comfort, especially during pregnancy or acute pain episodes.
