Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Murfreesboro 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 love. Kyphosis, a condition where the upper back curves forward more than normal, is particularly common for older Murfreesboro adults. It is often caused by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The ultimate effect? Activities of daily living like standing tall, turning your head, or even taking deep breaths can become difficult and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Most Chiropractic Clinic, specifically a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is offering real relief—and hope—for people struggling with this Murfreesboro spinal condition.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis does not just affect the thoracic spine. It throws your whole posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric Chu highlighted in a recent case report, when the upper (thoracic) spine bends forward excessively, the neck often compensates by extending the head forward. (1) This domino effect leads to cervical postural syndrome, bringing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle tiredness. No fun.
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 reduce nerve pressure—without using the intense pressure of conventional spinal adjustments. We at Most Chiropractic Clinic feel you’ll appreciate this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A powerful example of these benefits comes from a case report by Dr. Lee Hazen involving 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 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 notable things about Cox® Technic is how cautious it is for older folks with fragile bones. Its slow, controlled method avoids 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, Murfreesboro chiropractic care with Cox® Technic could be the missing piece to a more comfortable, active life.
