What Is the Cox® Chiropractic Technique?
A gentle, evidence-informed approach for disc-related spinal pain

The Cox® Chiropractic Technique, also known as Cox® Flexion-Distraction, is a highly specific, physician-developed form of spinal decompression designed for conditions such as disc herniations, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, facet syndrome, and post-surgical back pain.

Unlike forceful spinal manipulation, this technique uses a specialized adjusting table that allows the doctor to apply slow, controlled, and measured spinal motion. The movements are gentle, precise, and tailored to the individual patient’s diagnosis and tolerance.

How It Works (In Plain Language)

The Cox Technique gently opens the spinal joints and decompresses the disc space. This helps to:
• Reduce pressure inside the disc
• Take tension off irritated spinal nerves
• Improve spinal mobility and joint nutrition
• Calm pain-sensitive structures in the spine

For many patients, this creates an environment where the body can heal rather than compensate.

The Science Behind It

Research published in peer-reviewed journals demonstrates that flexion-distraction procedures can:
• Lower intradiscal pressure, helping disc bulges or herniations retract inward
• Increase the size of the spinal canal, benefiting patients with stenosis
• Reduce mechanical stress on facet joints and nerve roots

The Cox Technique is taught worldwide, used by certified physicians, and supported by decades of biomechanical and clinical research.

Why It Helps Patients Avoid Surgery

Many disc and stenosis cases are treated surgically only after conservative care fails. The Cox Technique offers a non-surgical, non-invasive option that often relieves symptoms sufficiently to delay or completely avoid spinal surgery, especially when used early and appropriately.

Orthopedists and medical doctors often recognize this approach as a form of targeted spinal decompression, consistent with conservative care guidelines.

Who Is It Best For?
• Patients with disc-related back or neck pain
• Individuals told they “may need surgery” but want a conservative option
• Those who cannot tolerate forceful spinal manipulation

Bottom line: The Cox® Chiropractic Technique is a gentle, research-supported method that addresses the mechanics of disc and nerve pain, often helping patients recover while avoiding more invasive procedures.

You’ve Tried “Everything” for Your Back Pain… But Still Don’t Have Answers. If So, Then This is for You.

Real talk here. Back pain, disc herniations, or spinal stenosis can affect your life in big ways.
• You’ve done the X-rays.
• Maybe even had an MRI.
• But no one explained it in plain English…or they rushed you through the results like you were just another number.
• Perhaps they said “everything looks fine” and handed you a prescription for pain medications.

Then came physical therapy. (During your PT sessions, you thought to yourself

“What I am even doing here?).

It helped a little…until it didn’t.

Now someone’s whispering surgery in your ear…but everything in you is screaming “NO!”

Let’s keep it real here.

You’ve just been trapped in a system that often treats back pain like a one-size-fits-all problem.

At our office, we do things differently.

We start by actually listening. (It’s a promise we make to every patient.)

We review (or redo) imaging and explain it to you in a way that makes sense.

We figure out what’s really going on with your spine, nerves, and discs…so you’re not left guessing.

Then, we map out a solid plan that fits your goals…especially if your #1 goal is to avoid surgery.

Imagine having a real plan that finally makes sense.

A plan that helps you get back to walking, sleeping, and living without feeling like you’re stuck.

If you’re tired of the runaround, let’s talk.

Message us here or call 330-493-9810 to schedule a consultation.

Let’s find out what’s possible…together.

Balanced Health Solutions. Because Your Spine Deserves Better.

This is the brain-body connection in action. The spine and nerve roots merely act as a relay station (an intermediary) between the message that the brain is sending the body.
