Since the early 1970's, Dr. Cox has refined the technique, developed a manipulation instrument for effective use of the technique, conducted clinical as well as participated in experimental research, lectured around the world, and written well-received articles, chapters for textbooks, and textbooks. The doctor is in control of the treatment movements at all times. The posterior disc space increases in height.
Flexion decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis.
Discs protrude and degenerate into the concavity of a curve, into the side of extension. Flexion stretches the ligamentum flavum to reduce stenosis. Flexion increases metabolite transport into the disc. Flexion opens the apophyseal joints and reduces posterior disc stress. The nucleus pulposus does not move on flexion.
