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 usual approaches often providing limited relief. Cox® Technic, a specialized type of chiropractic distraction spinal manipulation, offers a promising conservative treatment option. This gentle technique utilizes a specially designed table for controlled distraction treatment of the lumbar spine, generating decompression while mobilizing restricted segments.

Research reports 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, revealing 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, boosting nutrient flow, and reinstating healthy spine movement—all without the need for more forceful adjustments. This makes it especially suitable for post-surgical patients requiring gentle, precise treatment that respects altered spinal anatomy while addressing ongoing pain and dysfunction.
