At Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center, our Pensacola chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is recognized, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Pensacola! In this piece,
you’ll read papers from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US regarding Cox® Technic and how it relieves
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A new research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain reports that patients cared
for with flexion distraction spinal manipulation reach
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 decreased 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.” Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center must comment that medicine now looks
at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile
to perform. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is marvelous! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center
finds that many of our patients attain 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 Pensacola back pain
sufferers who really want to get back to an
agreeable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for some
and when it’s used with 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 acknowledged that traction research lacks
reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness.
(4) Cox Technic can present 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 returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Pensacola Spinal Rehab 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 discovered 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 got rid
of painful stimuli from the annular fibers to decrease
pain. (6) Just what Gudavalli et al discovered
in their biomechanical research of the effects of Cox® Technic flexion
distraction on the lumbar spine in the 1990’s! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center talks
about these biomechanical effects with our Pensacola back pain
patients all the time. It is 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 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, enhances the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he came to the US from India! We are
so grateful he did.
