Experience Wellness at Rosenberg Wellness Center- Cox Technique

Introduction

At Rosenberg Wellness Center, we are professional in providing evidence based treatments to address a variety of health concerns. Cox Technique spinal decompression is one of the world-class techniques that is most effective for patients suffering from spinal health issues. Cox technique is safe, gentle and proven to take pressure off of discs, joints and nerves.

The Essence of Cox Technique 

Cox Technique is named after its creator, Dr. James M. Cox, who recognized the need for a safer and more effective method to treat severe spinal conditions. Dr. Jeff Rosenberg has put in numerous post-graduate hours to get certified in Cox Technique spinal pain decompression. Cox technique offers an alternative to invasive surgery and the reliance on dangerous and potentially addictive pain medications to relieve headaches, neck pain, back pain and sciatica due to degenerative disc disease, degenerative joint disease, disc bulges, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and healed pars defects.

Conditions Benefiting from Cox Therapy

Sciatica and brachialgia: Pain radiating from the lower back to the legs or from the neck to the hands.

Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain: Persistent ache that could drastically affect daily routine.

Disc Bulging, Herniations, and Prolapses: Conditions wherein disc material extends past its regular barriers, causing pain and soreness.

Facet Joint Syndrome: Joint ache on account of degenerative changes to the joint.

Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, or the neural foramina can cause pain and mobility troubles.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Pain that persists or arises after spinal surgery.

How does Cox Technique Works?

Cox Technique includes a unique flexion distraction manipulation of the spine, which achieves several therapeutic results:

1. Increases Intervertebral Disc Space: Enhances the space between discs to facilitate restoration.
2. Decreases Disc Pressure: Reduces inner discal pressure to help in recovery from bulges, herniations and degenerative discs.
3. Enlarges Nerve Openings: Expands spinal nerve openings by 28% to relieve nerve compression.
4. Restores Spinal Motion: Improves the motion of spinal joints for better overall function.

The Cox Table: A Specialized Tool

The Cox Table, or flexion-distraction table, is designed to apply gentle decompression to all regions of the spine, enabling safe usage of Cox Technique .

Research and Efficacy

The efficiency of Cox Technique is backed by years of research, which includes federally funded research grants from the NIH. Research has validated benefits such as reduced intradiscal pressure, a decrease in spinal stenosis. Clinical outcomes have shown a decrease in radiculopathy and persistent neck and back pain..

Treatment Duration and Expectations

With Cox Technique most patients feel significant relief within the first 3 visits. In addition to Cox Technique an emphasis is also made on addressing the surrounding soft tissue to ensure patient satisfaction and recovery. Although patient care-plans are tailored case by case most patients will benefit from the following:

Use of ice or heat: To reduce inflammation and to provide relaxation to muscles.

Avoid vigorous  activities: Such as lifting heavy objects, sitting or standing for long periods of time.

Back-support belts: For certain low back conditions.

Spinal Hygiene Education: To learn proper posture and proper lifting technique.

Accessory beds and chairs: To ensure comfort and spinal support.

Nutrition: Reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

Regular Walking: To maintain mobility and overall health.

Managing Pain, Not Curing It

Chronic back and neck pain from a disc or joint injury is always more manageable than completely cured. While discs can heal to some extent, many conditions do not completely recover, making symptom management critical to maintaining a quality of life. Cox Technique provides a structured approach for clinicians and patients to regain a pain-free life despite spinal limitations.
