At Hollstrom & Associates Inc, our Largo chiropractic patients
receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox®
Technic, renowned, researched
and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly
around the world…and right here in Largo! In this piece,
you will see papers from Spain, Korea,
Japan, and the US about Cox® Technic and how it eases
back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A recent research paper by researchers and
physiotherapists in Spain reports that patients cared
for 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 feel “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that
much.” Hollstrom & Associates Inc must comment that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical
improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile
to do. (2, 3) Contrasted with those
markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox®
Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Hollstrom & Associates Inc
finds that many of our patients attain even more 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 Largo back pain
sufferers who really want to return to a reasonable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for some
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 deliver a distractive force and that
patients exhibited an immediate response to it. They
also acknowledged that traction research is short on
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 increases by 17%, and ranges of motion
can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Hollstrom & Associates Inc
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 revealed that
disc heights significantly enlarged in chronic low back pain
patients treated 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 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! Hollstrom & Associates Inc shares these biomechanical effects with our Largo 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 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, enhances the world-wide flare of Cox®
Technic as he moved here from India! We’re
so grateful he did.
