Cox Flexion-Distraction Therapy in Our Office

Cox Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a gentle, non-surgical spinal treatment used to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves in your spine.

This therapy uses a specialized treatment table that slowly and precisely stretches and decompresses the spine, helping reduce pain and improve mobility — without forceful twisting or cracking.

It is especially helpful for patients with disc problems, nerve pain, or chronic back conditions.

How Cox Flexion-Distraction Works

You lie comfortably on a specially designed table that gently moves and stretches specific areas of the spine.

This controlled movement helps:

✔ Reduce pressure on spinal discs
✔ Decrease nerve compression
✔ Improve spinal motion and flexibility
✔ Increase circulation to injured tissues
✔ Reduce inflammation and irritation
✔ Promote disc healing and rehydration

The movement is slow, rhythmic, and comfortable for most patients.

What Conditions It Helps

Cox Flexion-Distraction is commonly used to treat:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Sciatica and nerve pain
• Spinal stenosis
• Chronic low back pain
• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet joint syndrome
• Pinched nerves
• Post-surgical back pain
• Disc-related neck pain

It is often recommended for patients who want a gentle alternative to surgery or aggressive spinal manipulation.

Your session is comfortable and relaxing.
