Andrew “Andrea” Perrone is an alumnus of the University of Bridgeport who earned a doctor of chiropractic degree from Life University. Since 1999, Dr. Andrew Perrone has treated patients out of Perrone Wellness Center in Hackensack, NJ. Among other treatment methods, he specializes in the Cox Technic.
A non-surgical, hands-on spinal manipulation, the Cox Technic is performed by a chiropractor while the patient lies on the proprietary Cox Table, which is specifically designed to allow for the effective administration of decompression adjustment and flexion-distraction. The system is governed by the rule of 50 percent, which refers to a reported 50 percent decline in pain symptoms by the patient. If this isn’t achieved, surgical consultation and intervention may be required.
Flexion-distraction and decompression helps relieve spinal pain by restoring motion to spinal joints and reducing pressure on their nerves. it also drops intradiscal pressure and widens the spinal canal area by 28 percent. Typically, patients require around a dozen visits in one month to alleviate lower back and neck pain. More visits are required for a disc herniation. This technique can also reduce pain associated with a slipped or ruptured disc, facet syndrome, or spondylolisthesis.
