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

Persistent back pain after back surgery presents a significant challenge, with traditional approaches often providing limited relief. Cox® Technic, a specialized type of chiropractic distraction spinal manipulation, presents a hopeful conservative treatment option. This gentle technique utilizes a specially designed table for controlled distraction treatment of the low back, creating decompression while mobilizing tight segments.

Research shows Cox® Technic's clinical success for post-surgical back pain. Gudavalli et al. (2016) examined patients with continued low back and radicular pain following spinal surgeries, finding significant improvements in both pain levels and functional disability scores after Cox® Technic care. (1) Additionally, Trager et al. (2024) found that patients receiving chiropractic care, including distraction techniques, were significantly less likely to require repeat surgery than 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 especially suitable for post-surgical patients needing careful, targeted therapy that works with your body's changed anatomy to tackle persistent pain and restore function.
