Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Tonawanda for Back Pain Relief
At Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, our Tonawanda chiropractic patients receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic that is recognized, well-studied and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly around the world…and right here in Tonawanda! In this piece, you’ll see 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 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 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 feel “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that much.” Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation must remind you that medicine now considers 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile to perform. (2, 3) Contrasted with those markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is marvelous! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation finds that many of our patients get even greater improvement: 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and have their own distinctive concerns, but the clinical outcomes are pleasing for Tonawanda 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 certain patients 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 provide a distractive force and that patients showed an immediate response to it. They also acknowledged that traction research lacks reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its effectiveness. (4) Cox Technic can display 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 gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation 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 discovered that disc heights significantly enlarged in chronic low back pain patients handled with flexion distraction and joint mobilization techniques. Why did this happen? They described that this treatment created negative pressure in the disc space to draw the displaced 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 found in their biomechanical research of the effects of Cox® Technic flexion distraction on the lumbar spine in the 1990’s! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation talks about these biomechanical effects with our Tonawanda back pain patients daily. 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 directed 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 here from India! We are so grateful he did.
