Standing Tall Again: How Cox® Technic Chiropractic Care Eases Pain from Ashburn and Herndon Spinal Kyphosis

Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—it’s about persistent pain, restricted movement, and the emotional struggle of not being able to do what you really like to do. Kyphosis, the forward rounding of the upper back, is particularly common for older Ashburn and Herndon 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 breathing deeply can become difficult and uncomfortable.

But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction, is extending real relief—and hope—for people dealing with this Ashburn and Herndon 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 emphasized in a recent case report, when the upper (thoracic) spine bends forward excessively, the neck often counters by extending the head forward. (1) This domino effect leads to 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 valuable. Instead of masking the pain or focusing only on one region, this treatment approach addresses the spine as a linked system. It utilizies gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to decompress joints and relieve nerve pressure—without the force of traditional spinal manipulation. We at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn feel you’ll appreciate this approach!

A CASE OF KYPHOSIS

A powerful example of these benefits comes from a case study by Dr. Lee Hazen involving a 75-year-old woman who had experienced 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 got better, her pain reduced dramatically, and she got back the ability to move more freely—something her other care approaches hadn’t been able to offer.

One of the most remarkable things about Cox® Technic is how cautious it is for older adults with fragile bones. Its slow, controlled approach avoids the risks of more aggressive approaches, making it a smart alternative for those with osteoporosis or post-surgical recovery.

Together, these case studies depict a clear picture: chiropractic care and Cox® Technic don’t just treat the symptoms—they work to address the root of the problem. By bringing back better alignment and relieving pressure, it helps patients move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their bodies.

For anyone battling spinal kyphosis and its ripple effects, Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care with Cox® Technic could be the missing piece to a more comfortable, active life.
