Cox Flexion Distraction
Gentle spinal manipulation technique for disc and stenosis conditions.
Advanced Spinal Care Technique
Cox flexion distraction is a gentle manipulative technique developed by Chiropractors to treat a variety of spinal conditions. The most painful of these conditions are spinal disc protrusions/herniations of the lower back (often referred to as "sciatica") and neck, and spinal stenosis.
Proven Clinical Results
Studies have demonstrated that by using Cox flexion distraction, the chiropractic practitioner can achieve the following results for their patient:
Clinical Benefits Include:
- Increases disc space height by up to 17% - Creating more room for compressed nerves
- Increases nerve opening sizes by up to 28% in area - Through which spinal nerves pass from the spinal cord to the body
- Intradiscal pressure reduction - Reduces nerve irritation inside the disc and pressure on exiting nerves. This drop in pressure has been measured as high as 192 mm reduced pressure inside the intervertebral disc
- Restores normal range of motion - To the joints of the spine
- Establishes nerve conduction - From the extremities, spinal joints and intervertebral discs to the spinal cord and brain that have a sedating and pain relieving capability
