At Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center, our Paramus chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is known, well-studied
and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Paramus! In this article,
you will read papers 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 cared
for 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.” Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center must remind you 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) Contrasted with those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is remarkable! Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center
finds that many of our patients get even greater improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients vary and
have their own distinctive concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are pleasing for Paramus back pain
sufferers who really want to return to an
agreeable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for certain patients
and when it is applied to the proper
patient. 83.2% of patients did in a Japanese study. These researchers presented
that lumbar traction can provide 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 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) Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation 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 discovered that
disc heights significantly increased in chronic low back pain
patients treated with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. Why
did 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 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! Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center shares these biomechanical effects with our Paramus back pain
patients all the time. It is 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 directed 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’re
so thankful he did.
