At Vancouver Spine Care Centre, our Vancouver chiropractic patients
get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is known, well-studied
and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is really
around the world…and right here in Vancouver! In this piece,
you will see studies from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US about Cox® Technic and how it eases
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A new research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain reports that 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 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 think “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Vancouver Spine Care Centre must share that medicine now considers 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable
to perform. (2, 3) Contrasted with those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is marvelous! Vancouver Spine Care Centre
finds that many of our patients attain even greater improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and
have their own unique concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are pleasing for Vancouver back pain
sufferers who just 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 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 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 show researched effects. Cox®
Technic biomechanical studies found 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 restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Vancouver Spine Care Centre
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 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 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! Vancouver Spine Care Centre shares these biomechanical effects with our Vancouver back pain
patients all the time. It’s 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 headed 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 moved here from India! We’re
so grateful he did.
