At Moses Chiropractic, our West Palm Beach chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, recognized, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in West Palm Beach! In this article,
you will read papers from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US about Cox® Technic and how it eases
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A new 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 stand
superior to high velocity low amplitude thrust technique outcomes. (1) A note
on this 50% improvement marker: Cox® Technic protocols look for
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.” Moses Chiropractic must comment that medicine now looks
at 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! Moses Chiropractic
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 distinctive concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are pleasing for West Palm Beach back pain
sufferers who really want to return to a pleasing quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for some
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 provide a distractive force and that
patients exhibited an instant response to it. They
also acknowledged that traction research is short on
reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness.
(4) Cox Technic can display researched effects. Cox®
Technic biomechanical studies found 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 returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Moses Chiropractic
offers 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 handled with flexion distraction and joint
mobilization techniques. How does this happen? They explained that
this treatment produced negative pressure in the disc space to draw
the displaced disc content back to the center and got rid
of 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! Moses Chiropractic talks
about these biomechanical effects with our West Palm Beach back pain
patients daily. It’s important
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 a great deal
of the biomechanical and clinical research studies – retrospective, prospective
and experimental with cadavers – about the effects of Cox Technic
flexion distraction. He, too, enhances the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he came to the US from India! We are
so glad he did.
