At Novelli Wellness Center, our Orchard Park, NY 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 Orchard Park, NY! In this piece,
you will see studies from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US regarding Cox® Technic and how it relieves
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A new research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain describes how patients cared
for 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 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.” Novelli Wellness Center must share that medicine now looks
at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile
to do. (2, 3) Compared to those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Novelli Wellness Center
finds that many of our patients get even more improvement:
60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients vary and
have their own unique issues, but the clinical
outcomes are satisfactory for Orchard Park, NY 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 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 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 enlarges
by 28%, the disc height gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Novelli Wellness Center
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 increased in chronic low back pain
patients handled with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. Why
did this happen? They described that
this treatment created negative pressure in the disc space to pull
the displaced disc content back to the center and removed 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! Novelli Wellness Center talks
about these biomechanical effects with our Orchard Park, NY back pain
patients all the time. It is important
to have science behind what we do.

with Ram Gudavalli, PhD, on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson. Dr. Gudavalli is the principle
investigator who has managed a great deal
of the biomechanical and clinical research studies – retrospective, prospective
and experimental with cadavers – into 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.
