At Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc, our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is recognized, researched
and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Fort Wayne! In this piece,
you’ll see 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 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 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 feel “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc must comment that medicine now looks
at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable
to do. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is remarkable! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
finds that many of our patients attain even more improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and
have their own distinctive issues, but the clinical
outcomes are pleasing for Fort Wayne back pain
sufferers who really 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 is 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 immediate response to it. They
also admitted that traction research lacks
reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness.
(4) Cox Technic can display researched effects. Cox®
Technic biomechanical studies documented that the lumbar spine disc
pressures drop to as low as -192mmHg, the lumbar canal area increases
by 28%, the disc height gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
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 discovered that
disc heights significantly increased in chronic low back pain
patients treated with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. How does this happen? They described that
this treatment created 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! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc shares these biomechanical effects with our Fort Wayne back pain
patients daily. It is 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 managed 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, adds to the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he came here from India! We’re
so thankful he did.
