Cox Technic Indications

Care providers use this particular form of spinal decompression to treat a wide range of problematic conditions including:

Herniated Discs

Degenerative Disc Disease

Facet Syndrome

Sciatica

Spondylolisthesis

Whiplash Injuries

This particular form of spinal decompression requires specialized training to maximize health benefits. Care providers must be properly instructed on the principles and techniques involved in successful treatment. Make sure that your doctor or therapist has received this training and can maximize treatment results from every session. Chiropractors who have completed advanced training in Cox Technique are said to be Certified Care Providers and can be located on the official company website.

Cox Decompression Treatments

Cox therapy claims to decrease interdiscal pressure and increase the foraminal openings between vertebrae. Patients are instructed to come to therapy sessions more often at the beginning of treatment and decrease in frequency as the pain is relieved. 70% of properly treated patients with indicated spinal conditions reported good curative results from Cox. 91% noticed at least some improvement. The average patient will be in treatment for approximately a month and undertake 12 to 15 sessions on the decompression table.

During Cox Decompression Therapy, the doctor will control all the movements of the machine manually and will maintain touch contact with your body to concentrate treatment on the area which needs attention. The machine moves slowly and gently in a specific path and has a variety of motions available to the care provider to treat virtually any area of the spine.

Recommendation on Cox Technic

Cox Decompression is time tested and well tolerated. It is also available in almost every major medical market on Earth. Cox is generally less expensive than other computerized forms of spinal decompression and might suit the needs of some patients better than these less personal approaches. If you suffer from a disc pain or foraminal stenosis condition, spinal decompression is probably the very best physical treatment option available to you. Best of all, all forms of noninvasive decompression therapy allow the patient a much needed alternative to back surgery.
