Cox® Flexion-Distraction

At Diamond Bar Spine Center, spinal decompression is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Different spinal conditions, body types and levels of pain may require different approaches. Following an evaluation, Dr. George Than, D.C. may select or combine several conservative techniques to help decrease mechanical stress, improve spinal mobility, address muscular tension and restore function.

Cox® Flexion-Distraction Technique

Cox Flexion-Distraction is a gentle, hands-on chiropractic technique developed by Dr. James M. Cox. It uses a specially designed treatment table that allows the doctor to guide the spine through controlled flexion, distraction and mobilization movements.

Rather than using a forceful thrust, the technique applies gentle, repetitive movements intended to mobilize spinal segments and provide controlled distraction of the spine.

Cox Flexion-Distraction may be considered as part of conservative management for selected patients with conditions such as:

Because the doctor controls the movement throughout treatment, the technique can be modified according to the patient’s condition and tolerance.

Is This Right for Me?

Cox® Flexion-Distraction is a gentle, hands-on approach, but it isn’t the right choice for every spine condition. In a virtual consultation, Dr. George Than, D.C., can talk through your symptoms with you and help you decide whether an in-person evaluation makes sense.

Evaluation First. Treatment Second.

Our philosophy is simple: understand the condition, determine whether conservative care is appropriate, and then develop a treatment strategy around the patient—not around a machine.
