At Wilson Family Chiropractic, our Millville chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, renowned, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Millville! In this article,
you’ll read studies from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US about Cox® Technic and how it relieves
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A recent research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain describes how patients treated with flexion distraction spinal manipulation attain
at least 50% improvement. Further, flexion distraction outcomes are
superior to high velocity low amplitude thrust technique outcomes. (1) A note
on this 50% improvement marker: Cox® Technic protocols seek
at least 50% improvement within the first month of care for most spine pain
conditions at which time (a) visit frequency is reduced by 50% and
(b) treatment would now include some range of motion treatment to spinal
segments. And if you think “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Wilson Family Chiropractic must comment that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable
to perform. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is remarkable! Wilson Family Chiropractic
finds that many of our patients attain even greater improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and
have their own distinctive concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are satisfactory for Millville back pain
sufferers who just want to get back to a reasonable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for certain patients
and when it’s applied to the proper
patient. 83.2% of patients did in a Japanese study. These researchers presented
that lumbar traction can deliver a distractive force and that
patients exhibited an instant response to it. They
also admitted that traction research is short on
reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness.
(4) Cox Technic can present researched effects. Cox®
Technic biomechanical studies found that the lumbar spine disc
pressures drop to as low as -192mmHg, the lumbar canal area increases
by 28%, the disc height increases by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Wilson Family Chiropractic
proposes that Cox® Technic is well-researched, segment
specific spinal manipulation with predictable clinical outcomes.
KOREA: COX® TECHNIC POSITIVELY IMPACTS THE SPINE
And in Korea, researchers revealed that
disc heights significantly increased in chronic low back pain
patients treated with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. Why
did this happen? They described that
this treatment produced negative pressure in the disc space to draw
the moved disc content back to the center and removed painful stimuli from the annular fibers to decrease
pain. (6) Just what Gudavalli et al found
in their biomechanical research of the effects of Cox® Technic flexion
distraction on the lumbar spine in the 1990’s! Wilson Family Chiropractic shares these biomechanical effects with our Millville back pain
patients all the time. It’s key
to have science behind what we do.

Listen to this PODCAST
with Ram Gudavalli, PhD, on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson. Dr. Gudavalli is the principle
investigator who has led much
of the biomechanical and clinical research studies – retrospective, prospective
and experimental with cadavers – into the effects of Cox Technic
flexion distraction. He, too, adds to the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he moved to the US from India! We’re
so glad he did.
