At Chiropractic Solutions, our San Jose chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, known, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is really
around the world…and right here in San Jose! In this piece,
you will see papers from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US about 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 cared
for with flexion distraction spinal manipulation get
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.” Chiropractic Solutions must remind you that medicine now looks
at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare 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! Chiropractic Solutions
finds that many of our patients get 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 San Jose back pain
sufferers who just want to return to a pleasing quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for certain patients
and when it is applied to 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 showed 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 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 gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Chiropractic Solutions
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 treated with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. Why
did this happen? They explained that
this treatment created negative pressure in the disc space to pull
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! Chiropractic Solutions shares these biomechanical effects with our San Jose 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 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, enhances the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he came here from India! We’re
so glad he did.
