At Amelia Chiropractic Clinic, our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is known, well-studied
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Fernandina Beach! In this piece,
you will read studies from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US regarding Cox® Technic and how it eases
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A recent research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain reports that patients treated with flexion distraction spinal manipulation get
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 decreased by 50% and
(b) treatment would now include some range of motion treatment to spinal
segments. And if you say “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Amelia Chiropractic Clinic must share that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable
to offer. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
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 Fernandina Beach 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 right type of
patient. 83.2% of patients did in a Japanese study. These researchers presented
that lumbar traction can provide a distractive force and that
patients showed an immediate response to it. They
also admitted that traction research is short on
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 returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
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. How does this happen? They described 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! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic talks
about these biomechanical effects with our Fernandina Beach back pain
patients daily. It is key
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 moved to the US from India! We’re
so thankful he did.
