Spinal Decompression

Using Cox Flexion/Distraction Method.

Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy at Thirty3 Health: Effective Spinal Relief with Dr. Joel Ruppel

At Thirty3 Health, we offer specialized chiropractic techniques that provide lasting relief from spinal pain and discomfort. One of the most effective methods we use is Cox Flexion Distraction, a gentle and non-invasive technique designed to relieve pressure on the spine, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Dr. Joel Ruppel, a skilled provider in advanced chiropractic care, uses Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy to help patients with back pain, disc issues, and other spinal conditions find relief without surgery or medications.

What Is Cox Flexion Distraction?

Cox Flexion Distraction is a chiropractic technique that focuses on decompressing the spine by using a specially designed treatment table. This table allows the spine to be gently stretched and flexed in specific ways that relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. The method is non-invasive and uses precise, controlled movements to create more space in the spinal column, promoting healing and reducing pain.

At Thirty3 Health, Dr. Joel Ruppel is highly trained in Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy, using it to effectively treat herniated discs, sciatica, and other spine-related conditions.

Conditions Treated with Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy

Cox Flexion Distraction is especially beneficial for treating spinal conditions, including:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Facet joint syndrome

  • Chronic lower back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Post-surgical pain

  • Failed back surgery syndrome

By gently stretching the spine and reducing pressure on affected areas, Cox Flexion Distraction helps alleviate pain and improve mobility in patients with these conditions.

Benefits of Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy

  1. Non-Invasive Pain Relief
    Cox Flexion Distraction offers a non-surgical, drug-free solution for back and neck pain. By reducing pressure on the spine and nerves, this therapy can relieve pain naturally without the need for invasive procedures or medications.

  2. Relief for Disc Injuries
    Patients suffering from herniated or bulging discs can benefit greatly from Cox Flexion Distraction. The gentle stretching creates space between vertebrae, reducing disc pressure and allowing the disc to return to its natural position. This helps reduce pain and improves overall spinal health.

  3. Increased Mobility and Flexibility
    Spinal conditions often lead to stiffness and restricted movement. Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy restores spinal mobility by stretching and decompressing the spine, helping patients regain range of motion and flexibility.

  4. Decompression for Spinal Nerves
    Conditions like sciatica occur when spinal nerves become compressed or irritated. Cox Flexion Distraction effectively decompresses the spine, alleviating pressure on the nerves and reducing nerve-related pain.

  5. Safe and Gentle Treatment
    One of the major benefits of Cox Flexion Distraction is its gentle nature. The technique is carefully controlled, making it a safe option for patients of all ages, including those with more severe spinal issues or who may not tolerate other types of chiropractic adjustments.

  6. Improved Spinal Health
    Regular sessions of Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy can improve overall spinal health by enhancing circulation, promoting nutrient flow to the discs, and reducing inflammation in the spine. This can help prevent future injuries and promote long-term well-being.

What to Expect During a Cox Flexion Distraction Session

During a session of Cox Flexion Distraction at Thirty3 Health, Dr. Joel Ruppel will have you lie on a specialized treatment table designed for this technique. The table allows for precise flexion and distraction movements that gently stretch the spine, targeting the specific areas that are causing pain or discomfort.

The treatment is typically pain-free and comfortable for most patients. You may feel a gentle stretching sensation in your back or neck as the spine is decompressed. Each session lasts around 10-15 minutes, and the number of sessions needed will depend on your specific condition and treatment goals.

Who Can Benefit from Cox Flexion Distraction?

Cox Flexion Distraction Therapy is an ideal treatment option for:

  • Patients suffering from chronic lower back pain or neck pain

  • Individuals with herniated discs or bulging discs

  • Those dealing with sciatica or pinched nerves

  • Patients with spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease

  • Individuals looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgery
