At Back And Neck Care Center, our Severna Park chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, recognized, researched
and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is really
around the world…and right here in Severna Park! In this article,
you will see studies from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US regarding Cox® Technic and how it eases
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 reach
at least 50% improvement. Further, flexion distraction outcomes stand
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 decreased by 50% and
(b) treatment would now include some range of motion treatment to spinal
segments. And if you say “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Back And Neck Care Center must share that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile
to do. (2, 3) Contrasted with those
markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Back And Neck Care Center
finds that many of our patients get even greater improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients vary and
have their own unique issues, but the clinical
outcomes are satisfactory for Severna Park 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 used with the right type of
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 lacks
reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its effectiveness.
(4) Cox Technic can share researched effects. Cox®
Technic biomechanical studies documented that the lumbar spine disc
pressures drop to as low as -192mmHg, the lumbar canal area enlarges
by 28%, the disc height increases by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Back And Neck Care Center
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 enlarged in chronic low back pain
patients handled with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. How does 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 reduce
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! Back And Neck Care Center talks
about these biomechanical effects with our Severna Park back pain
patients all the time. It’s vital
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 headed much
of the biomechanical and clinical research studies – retrospective, prospective
and experimental with cadavers – about the effects of Cox Technic
flexion distraction. He, too, adds to the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he came to the US from India! We’re
so thankful he did.
