Cox® Decompression Technic

What is Cox® Decompression Manipulation?

Cox® Decompression Manipulation was invented by Dr. James M. Cox, a United States Chiropractor, in the 1960s.

It uses “Flexion-Distraction” and “Decompression” to adjust and manipulate the spine thus:

Well-researched, well-documented and proven effective technic:
Dropping intra-discal pressure -192mmHg
Widening the spinal canal intervertebral foramen 28%
Reducing pressure on the spinal nerves
Returning motion to the spinal joints

Cox® Technic is appropriate for conditions causing low back and leg pain as well as neck and arm pain. It also reduces pain attributable to:

Disc herniation/a slipped disc/ a ruptured disc
Sciatica
Stenosis
Spondylolisthesis
( suitable for osteoporosis elders and pregnant women)

Cox® Technic is a well-researched, well-documented and proven effective technique for decompressing spinal nerves and treating back and neck pain. It is a gentle, non-surgical, low-force procedure which helps the spine heal properly – and keeps it as pain free as possible.
