Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Manahawkin Spinal Kyphosis
Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—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 especially common for older Manahawkin adults. It is often brought on by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The ultimate effect? Daily activities like standing tall, turning your head, or even breathing deeply can become tough and uncomfortable.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, specifically a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is offering real relief—and hope—for people dealing with this Manahawkin spinal condition.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis doesn’t just affect the thoracic spine. It throws off your entire body alignment, affecting how you stand, move, and feel. As Dr. Eric Chu emphasized in a new case report, when the upper (thoracic) spine bends forward excessively, the neck often compensates by jutting the head forward. (1) This chain reaction 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 valuable. Rather than just covering up the pain or treating a single area, this treatment approach treats the spine as a linked system. It utilizies gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to decompress joints and reduce nerve pressure—without the force of traditional spinal manipulation. We at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center feel you’ll like this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A powerful example of these benefits comes from a case study by Dr. Lee Hazen about a 75-year-old woman who had experienced several vertebroplasties to manage compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. (2) Despite those procedures, she was still in significant pain and dealing with severe kyphosis. Enter Cox® Technic. Through a series of carefully applied treatments, her posture got better, her pain reduced considerably, and she got back the ability to move more freely—something her other care approaches 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 approach averts the risks of more aggressive techniques, 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 address the root of the problem. By bringing back better alignment and easing pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies.
For anyone battling spinal kyphosis and its ripple effects, Manahawkin chiropractic care with Cox® Technic might be the key to unlocking a more comfortable, active life.
