The Cox flexion distraction technique is a spine manipulation technique done manually on a special chiropractic table called the Cox Table. It is gentle, smooth, rhythmical and doctor controlled. Because of this style, the treatment can look and be very gentle and relaxing. It is most effective for reducing the effects of degenerative disc diseases including

• disk herniation

• a slipped disk

• a ruptured disk

• facet syndrome

• stenosis

• spondylolisthesis

• other lumbar, cervical and thoracic disc herniations

It also has added benefits for people who do not want to undergo surgery to get rid of back pain. It can be effectively used in combination with:

• electrical stimulation

• physiological therapeutics, including heat and ice therapy

• massage therapy

• trigger point therapy

• exercise

• nutritional counseling

• neck or back braces

• back school instruction

• ergonomic training

It is tailored specifically for each patient and their unique condition after diagnosis. Dr. Jarrod Wilner and other practictioners of this technique use their experienced hands to monitor tissue tension and changes in the tissue during the treatment. They then adjust their treatment to make sure they are adressing the areas causing the most pain.

Unique to this technique is the Cox Table. This table is a specially designed medical tool that allows the doctor to position the patient in ways that make it easier to adjust hard to reach places with a minimum of discomfort.
