Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Plainville Spinal Kyphosis
Living with spinal kyphosis goes far beyond just having a hunched back—it’s about persistent pain, limited movement, and the emotional weight of not being able to do what you really like to do. Kyphosis, the forward rounding of the upper back, is particularly common for older Plainville adults. It is often caused by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The result? Activities of daily living like standing tall, rotating your head, or even breathing deeply can become difficult and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic, specifically a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is extending real relief—and hope—for people struggling with this Plainville spinal condition.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis doesn’t just affect the thoracic spine. It throws your whole posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric Chu emphasized in a new case report, when the thoracic spine curves forward, the neck often compensates by extending the head forward. (1) This domino effect leads to cervical postural syndrome, causing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle fatigue. Not a good thing.
HELP FOR SPINAL KYPHOSIS PAIN
That’s why treatments like Cox® Technic are so important. Instead of masking the pain or focusing only on one region, this treatment approach addresses the spine as a linked system. It utilizies gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to decompress joints and relieve nerve pressure—without using the intense pressure of conventional spinal adjustments. We at Layden Chiropractic bet you’ll like this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A nice example of these benefits comes from a case study by Dr. Lee Hazen involving a 75-year-old woman who had experienced several vertebroplasties to treat compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. (2) Despite those procedures, she was still in significant pain and dealing with severe kyphosis. Introduce Cox® Technic to her care. Through a series of carefully applied treatments, her posture improved, her pain lessened considerably, and she got back the ability to move more freely—something traditional care hadn’t been able to offer.
One of the most remarkable things about Cox® Technic is how safe it is for older folks with fragile bones. Its slow, controlled method avoids the risks of more aggressive approaches, making it a smart alternative for those who have osteoporosis or are in post-surgical recovery.
Together, these case studies paint a clear picture: chiropractic care and Cox® Technic don’t just treat the symptoms—they work to get to the root of the problem. By bringing back better alignment and relieving pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies.
For anyone dealing with spinal kyphosis and its side effects, Plainville chiropractic care with Cox® Technic might be the key to unlocking a more comfortable, active life.
