Part I Syllabus — What Is Cox® Technic? The Basis

The Part I course is introductory to Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression protocols. This continuing education weekend shares the academic basis for the protocols as well as introduces its hands-on application. Lead by excellent chiropractic hands-on instructors who practice this technique every day, this weekend will excite you for Monday morning! Check out what attendees say about the courses, too.
