Re-Certification

"I am a Cox® certified doctor who has had the new [Cox7®] table for over 4 years. I was amazed at how much I learned on improving my technique. If you have not returned to Cox® Seminars in a while, you will be impressed by how much you will learn in areas you thought you had mastered. As you all know Dr. Jim does not sit still and the research is constantly getting better and better."
~ Orlando Part I (3/11) attendee for Re-Certification
 

Cox® Technic Re-Certification offers Cox® certified physicians the opportunity to study with each other, share their successes and challenges, their new clinical applications, and their unique practice situations. It also is a means to assure the back pain and neck pain patients seeking Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression care, will receive treatment similar to that which they have grown accustomed to, and have also experienced pain relief with.

 
Goal of Re-certification

The Re-Certification process enhances Cox® Certified Practitioners’ awareness and knowledge of the latest research outcomes and clinical application of flexion distraction procedures related to Cox® Technic.

* NOTE: Certification in Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction and Decompression (aka flexion-distraction) and listing in the Referral Directory is a responsibility as is maintenance of the listings as reliable. A patient seeking a practitioner who does this technique does so in hopes of finding a physician to care for his/her spinal condition with this technique on a flexion-distraction table. We strive to keep the listings accurate. Please keep in touch with us!
