Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from San Jose Spinal Kyphosis
Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—it’s about persistent pain, limited 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 particularly common for older San Jose adults. It is often brought on by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The result? Daily activities like standing tall, rotating your head, or even taking deep breaths can become tough and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions, particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is offering real relief—and hope—for people dealing with this San Jose spinal condition.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis doesn’t just affect the thoracic spine. It throws your whole posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric Chu emphasized in a new case report, when the upper (thoracic) spine bends forward excessively, the neck often compensates by extending the head forward. (1) This chain reaction can result in 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 important. 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 reduce nerve pressure—without the force of traditional spinal manipulation. We at Chiropractic Solutions feel you’ll appreciate this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A nice example of these benefits comes from a case study 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 was still in significant pain and dealing with severe kyphosis. Introduce Cox® Technic to her care. Through a series of carefully applied treatments, her posture improved, her pain lessened considerably, and she regained 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 folks with fragile bones. Its slow, controlled approach averts the risks of more foreceful approaches, 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 treat the symptoms—they work to get to the root of the problem. By restoring 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 side effects, San Jose chiropractic care with Cox® Technic could be the missing piece to a more comfortable, active life.
