The Technic

The Technic

Cox® Technic is performed on a specially designed chiropractic instrument (The Cox® Table for flexion-distraction) which has a movable headpiece and a movable caudal piece (that part on which a patient's legs lie). Each section flexes, extends, laterally bends and circumducts (combination of flexion and lateral flexion), and long-y-axis plane distracts.

History of Cox® Technic

Cox® Technic is a marriage of chiropractic principles with osteopathic principles set forth by Alan Stoddard, DO, in his book, Manual of Osteopathic Technique, written about the manipulative procedures developed by John McManis, DO, in the early 1900's.

Its procedures were established by
Dr. James M. Cox and have evolved over the past 45+ years due to the many efforts of researchers and fellow chiropractic physicians.

Since the early 1970's, Dr. Cox has refined the technique, designed a manipulation instrument for effective use of the technique (
The Cox® Table), conducted clinical as well as participated in experimental research, lectured around the world, and written well-received articles, chapters for textbooks, and textbooks (published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore).  Further, many journal and web-published articles have been written and federally funded research projects have been granted and completed.
