Through the use of the Cox Flexion-Distraction technique, Dr. Jennifer Lee Taschler provides her patients at Taschler Spine and Rehab with the best care possible. Here’s how the Cox technique provides targeted relief and promotes healing and pain relief for patients in Fairfax, VA.

Understanding Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique

The Cox Flexion-Distraction technique is a gentle, non-surgical chiropractic method designed to treat herniated discs and other spinal conditions. Dr. Taschler uses a specialized table that allows for controlled, gentle stretching of the spine. This stretching motion helps to create negative pressure within the disc, encouraging the retraction of the herniated material back into the disc space. By reducing pressure on the spinal nerves, you will experience relief from pain and inflammation and experience improved mobility and flexibility.

The Benefits of Cox Flexion-Distraction for Herniated Discs

The Cox Flexion-Distraction technique offers several benefits for patients with herniated discs. The most important is immediate and long-term pain relief. Most patients experience significant relief after just a few sessions, and continuing regular treatments can help maintain spinal health and prevent the recurrence of symptoms. This form of herniated disc treatment, unlike surgical options, does not involve incisions or anesthesia and patients typically experience fewer side effects compared to medication or surgical interventions.

Integrating Cox Flexion-Distraction With Other Treatments

Dr. Taschler often integrates the Cox technique with other treatments to support your healing process. These treatments may include physical therapy exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, lifestyle advice on posture, ergonomics, and guidance on how to modify your daily activities to avoid aggravating your spine. She will combine some or all of these treatments to develop a customized plan that will best treat your symptoms.

Schedule Your Herniated Disc Treatment

By gently decompressing the spine and restoring normal motion, the Cox technique provides significant pain relief and promotes healing. Dr. Taschler will take the time to fully assess your condition and develop a plan that will provide the most relief.
