WHEN Carrolltown BACK SURGERY ISN'T ENOUGH: How Cox® Technic Offers Hope For Relief

Back pain that persists after back surgery can feel like a distressing setback, leaving many patients like you or your loved one discouraged when conventional treatments fall short. Cox® Technic, a specialized form of chiropractic distraction spinal manipulation, offers a hopeful conservative treatment option. This gentle technique uses a specially designed table for controlled distraction treatment of the low back, generating decompression while mobilizing restricted segments.

Research demonstrates Cox® Technic's clinical effectiveness for post-surgical back pain. Gudavalli et al. (2016) analyzed patients with continued low back and radicular pain following spinal surgeries, revealing significant improvements in both pain levels and functional disability scores after Cox® Technic treatment. (1) Furthermore, Trager et al. (2024) discovered that patients who received chiropractic care, including distraction techniques, had lower surgical reoperation rates compared to those without conservative manual therapy. (2)

Cox® Technic works by gently decompressing spinal discs, enhancing nutrient flow, and restoring healthy spine movement—all without the need for more forceful adjustments. This makes it particularly suitable for post-surgical patients requiring careful, targeted therapy that works with your body's changed anatomy to tackle persistent pain and restore function.
