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:
-
Dropping intradiscal pressure
-
Widening the spinal canal intervertebral foramen
-
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
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.
Evidence-based protocols are tested in laboratory trials and clinical trials supported by privately funded, clinician-volunteer, and federally funded research grants through the United States National Institutes for Health (NIH) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to name a few.
These evidence-based protocols are well-defined in medically published textbooks and peer-reviewed journal articles. You may visit the official website of Cox® Technic to know more about this evidence based chiropractic care and it’s related research and publications.

(3) Back Surgery shows a merely 8% higher satisfaction rate than Cox Technique
Surgery in the long term shows slightly better results than conservative care but bares more risks as an invasive treatment. Click HERE to know more about Fail Back Surgery Syndrome ( FBSS ).
