Treatment
In office, Hutter Chiropractic Office uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain.
You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation to the thoracic spine for thoracic stenosis that gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need.
