Cox Flexion Distraction Technique in Hackettstown
Not every spinal condition responds best to a traditional chiropractic adjustment. When disc problems, nerve irritation, spinal stenosis, or certain post-surgical conditions require a more gentle approach, Dr. Peter Murray may recommend Cox Flexion Distraction. At Murray Chiropractic, every technique is chosen for a reason, based on a careful evaluation of your condition rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
A Gentle Approach to Spinal Decompression
Cox Flexion Distraction, also known as Cox Technic, uses a special treatment table that slowly and rhythmically moves the spine while Dr. Murray applies precise, hands-on contact. Rather than relying on quick thrusts, this technique gently stretches and flexes the affected area to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves, improve joint motion, and help your body move more comfortably. Many patients describe the treatment as feeling more like a gentle stretch than a traditional adjustment, making it a good option for people who prefer a low-force approach.
When Cox Flexion Distraction May Be Recommended
Following a thorough examination, Dr. Murray may recommend Cox Flexion Distraction for disc bulges or herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, facet joint irritation, chronic neck or low back pain, arm or leg symptoms related to nerve irritation known as peripheral neuropathy, or certain post-surgical spinal conditions. He explains why the technique has been selected, what you can realistically expect, and how your progress will be monitored throughout care. To help improve stability and function, this method may also be combined with physiotherapeutic modalities such as muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and rehabilitative exercises when appropriate.

The goal of Cox Flexion Distraction is to reduce pain, restore healthier spinal motion, relieve nerve irritation, and help you return to the activities that matter most to you.
