Cox Technic

Cox Flexion Distraction Decompression is a well-documented, researched, proven effective, non-surgical technique for treating low back, mid back and neck pain. This technique is a gentle, low-force procedure that works with the body’s natural design to aid it in healing properly. There will be no popping, clicking, snapping of the neck or other areas of the spine that are often associated with more standard form of chiropractic techniques. The Cox procedures encourage a pain-free future by educating the patient about ergonomics, strengthening exercise, and lifestyle modification.


During a treatment on this instrument, you will lie on your stomach while Dr. Taylor gently manipulates your spine to relieve nerve pressure. She may use the instrument’s moveable sections to allow gentle, rhythmic up and down, side-to-side, and/or circular motions that restore normal motion to the spine to reduce pain and enhance healing.

Patients, even those who are in excruciating pain, are quite pleasantly surprised to discover that they can tolerate this technique quite comfortably. Many patients, who have already been scheduled for back or neck surgery, have come to see Dr. Taylor as a last resort. In most of those cases, the need for surgery has been eliminated due to the improvement of their condition.

Dr. Taylor is one of the only fully certified doctors in this specialized technique in the Hudson Valley. This ensures that she is trained in the most up-to-date, effective Cox Flexion Distraction treatment protocols.

Benefits of Cox Decompression Adjustment and Manipulation

The Cox Decompression Adjustment and Manipulation creates a "push, pull, pumping" effect on the disc space between two spinal bones (vertebra). It allows for the following benefits:

  • Increases the disc height to remove tension on the disc fibers and spinal nerves by making more room and improving circulation.
  • Decreases the pressure inside the disc between vertebra.
  • Restores spinal joints to their normal physiological relationships of motion (realigns your spine).
