At Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, our Ashburn chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic that is renowned, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is really
around the world…and right here in Ashburn! In this article,
you will see papers from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US regarding 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 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 seek
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.” Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn must remind you that medicine now looks
at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile
to offer. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
finds that many of our patients attain even more improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients vary and
have their own distinctive concerns, but the clinical
outcomes are satisfactory for Ashburn back pain
sufferers who just want to return to a reasonable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for certain patients
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 acknowledged 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 enlarges
by 28%, the disc height gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
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. How does this happen? They described that
this treatment produced 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 discovered
in their biomechanical research of the effects of Cox® Technic flexion
distraction on the lumbar spine in the 1990’s! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares these biomechanical effects with our Ashburn back pain
patients daily. It’s 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 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 to the US from India! We’re
so grateful he did.
