Connected Chiropractic Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Elgin for Back Pain Relief
At Connected Chiropractic, our Elgin chiropractic patients get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic that is renowned, well-studied and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly around the world…and right here in Elgin! In this article, 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 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 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.” Connected Chiropractic must remind you that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery worthwhile to perform. (2, 3) Compared to those markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Connected Chiropractic finds that many of our patients attain even greater improvement: 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and have their own unique issues, but the clinical outcomes are pleasing for Elgin 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 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 instant response to it. They also acknowledged that traction research lacks reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness. (4) Cox Technic can display researched effects. Cox® Technic biomechanical studies documented that the lumbar spine disc pressures drop to as low as -192mmHg, the lumbar canal area increases by 28%, the disc height increases by 17%, and ranges of motion can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Connected Chiropractic 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 flexion distraction and joint mobilization techniques. How does this happen? They described that this treatment produced negative pressure in the disc space to pull the moved disc content back to the center and removed 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! Connected Chiropractic shares these biomechanical effects with our Elgin 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 led much 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’re so thankful he did.
