At New Roads Chiropractic Center, our New Roads chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, known, researched
and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is really
around the world…and right here in New Roads! In this piece,
you will read papers 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 attain
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 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.” New Roads Chiropractic Center must share that medicine now sees 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 practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! New Roads Chiropractic Center
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 unique concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are satisfactory for New Roads 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 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 instant 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 found that the lumbar spine disc
pressures drop to as low as -192mmHg, the lumbar canal area increases
by 28%, the disc height increases by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) New Roads Chiropractic Center
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 enlarged in chronic low back pain
patients handled with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. How does this happen? They explained that
this treatment produced negative pressure in the disc space to pull
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! New Roads Chiropractic Center shares these biomechanical effects with our New Roads back pain
patients daily. 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 managed much
of the biomechanical and clinical research studies – retrospective, prospective
and experimental with cadavers – into 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 are
so thankful he did.
