Living with spinal kyphosis goes far beyond just having a hunched back—it’s
about stubborn pain, limited movement, and the
emotional weight of not being able to do what you love. Kyphosis, the forward rounding of the upper back, is especially
common for older Murfreesboro 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 taking deep breaths can become tough and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Most Chiropractic Clinic,
particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion
Distraction, is offering real relief—and hope—for people dealing
with this and other Murfreesboro spinal conditions.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis does not just affect the thoracic
spine. It throws your posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric
Chu emphasized in a recent case report, when the thoracic spine curves
forward, the neck often counters by jutting
the head forward. (1) This domino effect leads
to cervical postural syndrome, bringing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle
tiredness. 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 technique
treats the spine as a linked system. It
uses gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to
decompress joints and relieve nerve pressure—without the force of traditional
spinal manipulation. We at Most Chiropractic Clinic feel you’ll appreciate
this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A nice example of how patients are helped comes from a
case report by Dr. Lee Hazen about a 75-year-old woman who
had experienced several vertebroplasties to treat
compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. (2) Despite those procedures, she
continued to experience intense pain and struggled with pronounced kyphosis. Introduce
Cox® Technic to her care. Through a series of carefully applied
treatments, her posture improved, her pain reduced
dramatically, and she got back the ability to
move more freely—something traditional care
hadn’t been able to offer.
One of the most notable things about Cox®
Technic is how safe it is for older adults with
fragile bones. Its slow, controlled approach avoids
the risks of more aggressive techniques,
making it a smart alternative for those with osteoporosis or post-surgical recovery.
Together, these case studies paint a clear
picture: chiropractic care and Cox® Technic don’t just work on the symptoms—they work to get to the root of the problem.
By restoring better alignment and relieving
pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence
in their bodies.
For anyone battling spinal kyphosis and
its ripple effects, Murfreesboro chiropractic care with Cox®
Technic could be the missing piece to a
more comfortable, active life.
