Living with spinal kyphosis isn’t just about poor posture—it’s
about persistent pain, limited movement, and the
emotional weight of not being able to do what you love. Kyphosis, the forward rounding of the upper back, is especially
common for older Montreal adults. It is often caused
by osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative changes over time. The result? Activities of daily living like
standing tall, rotating your head, or even taking deep breaths can become tough and uneasy.
But there’s good news. Chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic,
particularly a technique known as Cox® Technic Flexion
Distraction, is offering real relief—and hope—for people dealing
with this and other Montreal spinal conditions.
WHAT IS SPINAL KYPHOSIS?
Spinal kyphosis does not just affect the thoracic
spine. It throws your posture out of balance. As Dr. Eric
Chu emphasized in a new case report, when the
upper (thoracic) spine bends forward excessively, the neck often counters by jutting
the head forward. (1) This domino effect leads
to cervical postural syndrome, causing neck pain, stiffness, and muscle fatigue. No fun.
HELP FOR SPINAL KYPHOSIS PAIN
That’s why treatments like Cox® Technic are so critical. Rather than just covering up the pain or treating a single area, this technique
addresses the spine as a linked system. It
utilizies gentle, rhythmic spinal stretching and range motion to
decompress joints and reduce nerve pressure—without the force of traditional
spinal manipulation. We at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic feel you’ll like
this approach!
A CASE OF KYPHOSIS
A nice example of how patients are helped comes from a
case study by Dr. Lee Hazen about a 75-year-old woman who
had undergone several vertebroplasties to manage
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 lessened
dramatically, and she regained the ability to
move more freely—something traditional care
hadn’t been able to offer.
One of the most remarkable things about Cox®
Technic is how safe it is for older adults with
fragile bones. Its slow, controlled method averts
the risks of more aggressive approaches,
making it a smart option 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 side effects, Montreal chiropractic care with Cox®
Technic might be the key to unlocking a
more comfortable, active life.
