Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—it’s
about stubborn pain, restricted movement, and the
emotional weight of not being able to do what you really like
to do. Kyphosis, a condition where the upper back curves forward more
than normal, is especially
common for older Fort Wayne adults. It is often brought on
by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The ultimate
effect? Daily activities like
standing tall, rotating your head, or even taking deep breaths can become difficult and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic,
specifically a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion
Distraction, is extending real relief—and hope—for people struggling
with this and other Fort Wayne spinal conditions.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis doesn’t just affect the thoracic
spine. It throws your posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric
Chu emphasized in a new case report, when the thoracic spine curves
forward, the neck often compensates by jutting
the head forward. (1) This chain reaction can result in cervical postural syndrome, bringing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle
tiredness. Not a
good thing.
HELP FOR SPINAL KYPHOSIS PAIN
That’s why treatments like Cox® Technic are so valuable. Instead of
masking the pain or focusing only on one region, this treatment approach
treats the spine as a linked system. It
uses gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to
decompress joints and relieve nerve pressure—without using the
intense pressure of conventional spinal adjustments. We at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic feel you’ll like
this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A powerful example of how patients are helped comes from a
case study by Dr. Lee Hazen involving a 75-year-old woman who
had experienced several vertebroplasties to treat
compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. (2) Despite those procedures, she
was
still in significant pain and dealing with severe kyphosis. Enter Cox® Technic. Through a series of carefully performed
treatments, her posture improved, her pain reduced
dramatically, and she got back the ability to
move more freely—something traditional care
hadn’t been able to offer.
One of the most remarkable things about Cox®
Technic is how cautious it is for older folks with
fragile bones. Its slow, controlled method averts
the risks of more foreceful approaches,
making it a smart option for those with osteoporosis or post-surgical recovery.
Together, these case studies depict a clear
picture: chiropractic care and Cox® Technic don’t just work on the symptoms—they work to get to the root of the problem.
By bringing back better alignment and easing
pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence
in their bodies.
For anyone dealing with spinal kyphosis and
its ripple effects, Fort Wayne chiropractic care with Cox®
Technic might be the key to unlocking a
more comfortable, active life.
