Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Augusta Spinal Kyphosis
Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—it’s about stubborn pain, limited movement, and the emotional struggle 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 Augusta adults. It is often caused by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The ultimate effect? Daily activities like standing tall, rotating your head, or even taking deep breaths can become difficult and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic, particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is extending real relief—and hope—for people struggling with this Augusta spinal condition.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis does not 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 thoracic spine curves forward, the neck often counters by jutting the head forward. (1) This domino effect can result in 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 critical. Rather than just covering up the pain or treating a single area, this treatment approach addresses the spine as an interconnected 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 Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic bet you’ll appreciate this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A nice example of these benefits comes from a case report by Dr. Lee Hazen about a 75-year-old woman who had undergone several vertebroplasties to treat compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. (2) Despite those procedures, she continued to experience intense pain and struggled with pronounced kyphosis. Enter Cox® Technic. Through a series of carefully performed treatments, her posture improved, her pain reduced dramatically, and she regained 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 method averts the risks of more aggressive approaches, making it a smart option for those with osteoporosis or post-surgical recovery.
Together, these case studies depict 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 relieving pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies.
For anyone battling spinal kyphosis and its ripple effects, Augusta chiropractic care with Cox® Technic could be the missing piece to a more comfortable, active life.
