WHEN Fort Wayne 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 offering limited relief. Cox® Technic, a specialized form of chiropractic distraction spinal manipulation, offers a hopeful conservative treatment option. This gentle technique utilizes a specially designed table for controlled distraction treatment of the lumbar spine, generating decompression while mobilizing tight segments.

Research shows Cox® Technic's clinical success for post-surgical back pain. Gudavalli et al. (2016) analyzed 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 treatment. (1) Additionally, Trager et al. (2024) found that patients receiving 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, boosting 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 gentle, precise treatment that respects altered spinal anatomy while addressing ongoing pain and dysfunction.
