Spinal Decompression
Cox Technic's non-surgical spinal decompression reduces intradiscal pressure by up to -192mmHg while widening spinal canals by 28%. This evidence-based technique treats herniated discs, stenosis, and nerve compression through controlled flexion-distraction movements on the proprietary Cox8 Table. Clinical studies demonstrate 91% patient satisfaction within 90 days of treatment.
Flexion Distraction
Our flexion-distraction protocol combines osteopathic principles with chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal motion and reduce nerve irritation. The technique achieves 17% disc space height increase and 2mm intervertebral foramen widening through gentle, rhythmic pumping motions on specialized treatment tables.
Chiropractic Certification
We offer multi-level certification programs including Part I-IV courses and Honors training for advanced clinical applications. Certification requires hands-on workshops, case study analysis, and practical exams validating proficiency in lumbar, cervical, and thoracic spine protocols.
Research Coordination
Our research division manages federally funded biomechanical studies and clinical trials at institutions like Loyola University Medical Center. We coordinate data collection from 1,000+ case studies and publish outcomes in peer-reviewed journals to advance evidence-based spinal care practices.
