Flexion Distraction Technique

Originally developed to correct bulging or ruptured discs, a special table, for use in Cox Therapy (Flexion/Distraction Technique) allows gentle, specific, and highly effective work on the joints of the lower back. Acute lower back pain which cannot be treated with conventional adjustments can be relieved with this technique. You don't have to have a ruptured disc to benefit,it works well on all lower back conditions.

Key Benefits

Gentle care for hurt low backs
When you can hardly walk or move with acute low back pain, the last thing you want is to be handled roughly. The flexion distraction table bends in the middle to allow effective adjustment using leverage, not a lot of force.

Reducing disk bulge
The table allows Dr. Asness to create a negative pressure within a bulging or partially ruptured disk, effectively creating a negative pressure within the disc thereby allowing the displaced disk material to move back into position.

Correcting joint motion
Dr. Asness can evaluate the lumbar joints one by one, and correct their motion using the leverage of the table.
