COX Spinal Decompression in Brooklyn

If you have been dealing with low back pain, sciatica, disc irritation, stenosis-like symptoms, neck pain, or pain that gets worse with sitting, standing, or any kind of loading, you have probably already tried a few things. Maybe stretching helped briefly. Maybe adjustments, massage, or physical therapy took the edge off but did not hold. Maybe you have heard about spinal decompression and are wondering whether it is actually worth trying.

Here is what I want you to know upfront: at Functional Rehab in Gowanus, Brooklyn, COX flexion-distraction is one of the tools I use with certain patients, and it can be genuinely useful in the right clinical context. But it is not a magic table. It is not a standalone passive treatment that works independent of everything else. And it is not right for every person who walks through the door.

What I do at Functional Rehab is use COX decompression as part of a broader, exam-driven rehab approach. That means assessment first, hands-on care when appropriate, and a plan to rebuild movement capacity and strength so your body becomes less dependent on ongoing treatment over time. If you are looking for low back pain treatment in Brooklyn or a more thorough workup than you have received elsewhere, an evaluation is the right place to start.
