Spinal Decompression

Cox® Disc Decompression Adjustment & Manipulation


Cox® Decompression Adjustment & Manipulation is a gentle, non-force adjusting procedure which works with the body's natural design to aid it in healing properly.
It is a technique that has demonstrated remarkable results with: slipped/ bulging/ ruptured/ herniated discs, sciatica, facet syndromes, spondylolisthesis, sprains/ strains, scoliosis, transitional vertebrae, sacroiliac subluxation, spinal & foraminal stenosis.

Scientific Findings Regarding Cox® Disc Decompression

1. The disc space increases in height relieving irritation of the spinal nerve.
2. Decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis.
3. Tensions the ligaments to reduce stenosis.
4. Opens the vertebral canal by 2 mm. (16%).
5. Increases metabolite transport into the disc.
6. Opens the posterior facet joints and reduces posterior disc stress.
7. Intradiscal pressure drops under distraction.
8. Intervertebral foraminal openings enlarge giving patency to the nerve.
