Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Baton Rouge Spinal Kyphosis
Living with spinal kyphosis goes far beyond just having a hunched back—it’s about persistent pain, restricted movement, and the emotional struggle of not being able to do what you really like to do. Kyphosis, a condition where the upper back curves forward more than normal, is especially common for older Baton Rouge 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 Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers, particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is extending real relief—and hope—for people struggling with this Baton Rouge 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 highlighted in a recent case report, when the thoracic spine curves forward, the neck often compensates by jutting the head forward. (1) This domino effect can result in cervical postural syndrome, causing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle fatigue. No fun.
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 technique treats the spine as a linked system. It utilizies 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 Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers bet 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 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 applied treatments, her posture improved, her pain lessened dramatically, 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 adults with fragile bones. Its slow, controlled method averts the risks of more foreceful 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 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 dealing with spinal kyphosis and its ripple effects, Baton Rouge chiropractic care with Cox® Technic might be the key to unlocking a more comfortable, active life.
