Cox® Technic: A Gentle, Non-Surgical Approach to Spinal Pain

Living with back or neck pain can be exhausting. It can affect work, sleep, exercise, and even simple daily tasks. While many treatments focus only on temporary relief, Cox® Technic offers a well-researched, non-surgical way to address the underlying causes of spinal pain.

What Is Cox® Technic?

Cox® Technic is a gentle, hands-on chiropractic method performed on a specially designed table. This table allows your chiropractor to carefully stretch and decompress the spine in a controlled way, reducing pressure on irritated nerves and stiff joints. Unlike quick or forceful manipulations, Cox® Technic is slow, measured, and highly targeted.

A chiropractor utilizes the Cox Flexion-Distraction technique on a specialized table to provide spinal treatment to a patient.

How It Works

By using flexion-distraction and decompression, Cox® Technic helps to:

• Lower pressure within spinal discs (which can reduce irritation and help healing)

• Widen the openings where nerves exit the spine (reducing nerve pinching)

• Restore motion to spinal joints (improving flexibility and movement)

• Encourage better circulation around the spine, which may ease inflammation

The goal is simple: to take you from pain to no pain as quickly and safely as possible.

Conditions It Can Help

Cox® Technic is supported by strong clinical research and is effective for many spine-related issues, including:

• Disc herniations or bulges

• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)

• Degenerative disc disease

• Facet joint pain

• Spondylolisthesis (slippage of one vertebra on another)

• Ongoing back pain after surgery

• Neck and arm pain, as well as low back and leg pain

Why Patients Choose It

Spinal pain often comes from both mechanical irritation (nerve compression) and chemical irritation (inflammation). Cox® Technic addresses both: by gently relieving pressure on nerves and joints while also encouraging healthier circulation to reduce local inflammation.

For many patients, this means less pain, more mobility, and a better quality of life — without surgery, and without the need for heavy reliance on medications. Book an appointment with Flex Spinal to discuss your options today. Book Appointment.
