Virtue Specialty Care

A coordinated group of specialists, working in unity

Virtue Specialty Care was born out of patient requests for a tightly woven, interconnected group of providers working in coordination with each other. The gold standard of healthcare is when an ecosystem comes together for the patient — and that is the goal we were formed to realize.

Our signature treatment

Cox® Technic

Cox® Technic is non-surgical, doctor-controlled, hands-on spinal manipulation performed on a specially designed table, administering flexion-distraction and decompression. It is a gentle, well-researched alternative to more aggressive treatments — guiding the spinal-pain patient from “pain” to “no pain” as quickly as possible.

You receive it in the lineage of the technique itself: Dr. Lee Hazen trained under Dr. James Cox — the developer of Cox® Technic — and has taught it to chiropractors across the country for more than thirty years.
