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

Persistent back pain following back surgery presents a significant challenge, with usual approaches often offering 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 lumbar spine, generating decompression while mobilizing tight segments.

Research shows Cox® Technic's clinical effectiveness 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 care. (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's effectiveness stems from its ability to generate negative intradiscal pressure, promote nutrient exchange, and restore normal spinal biomechanics without aggressive manipulation. This makes it particularly suitable for post-surgical patients needing careful, targeted therapy that works with your body's changed anatomy to tackle persistent pain and restore function.
