Cox technique is a highly skilled, very specific form of spinal manipulation/adjustment. As the saying goes, “putting a scalpel in your hand does not make you a surgeon.” Owning some type of flexion distraction table does not mean the doctor has had sufficient training or experience with the technique. Dr. Patterson has been using Cox technique since 1988. (prior to a certification process being developed) In 1998, he became one of the first Cox certified doctors in the state of Kansas.
