Spinal traction/Cox Technique:
Strengthens the disc
Reduces fatigue in the disc
Protects progressive deformation of the disc
Protects against cellular damage
Creates collagen

Maintenance care = we can still continue to strengthen/protect the disc in the absence of pain.

Intervertebral disc degeneration greatly affects daily life. Suitable mechanical stress is important for intervertebral disc health as it affects disc cells. Research shows it helps disc cell proliferation and collagen synthesis. However, the influences of forces in diverse directions on the interve...

A study from 2023 found that the application of kinesiology tape to the hamstring muscles of healthy, young females could significantly improve the extensibility of the hamstrings within a very short time period.

I have always felt that hips are a contributor to low back pain.

Linking Hip Biomechanics to Low Back Pain
(BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2024)

The results suggest that:
• Range of motion is reduced in total movements and internal/external hip rotation in patients with LBP compared to healthy individuals.
• Strength of the hip abductor and extensor muscles is reduced in patients with LBP compared to asymptomatic individuals.
• Patients with LBP adopt strategies to reduce speed and change hip flexion movements as compared to asymptomatic individuals during functional activities.
• Electromyographic assessment of patients with LBP exhibited shorter activation time and greater amplitude of the hip muscles as compared to healthy individuals.

This is why I check feet, ankles, knees, hips, low back, mid back, neck on all my examinations, regardless of what you came in for.

Another great study proving that our COX technique works! No other traction technique has our research!

Traction of the spine creates 1.27mm separation of joints at low traction and 2mm at higher traction!

That will:
Increase circulation
Reduced pressure on the disc
Stretch muscles and ligaments
Creates mobility and flexibility
Reduce scar tissue
Reduce pressure on the joints

Chiropractic work!
Spinal pain patients who consulted chiropractors as first providers needed fewer opioid prescriptions, surgeries, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, specialist referrals and injection procedures.
