Aurora Chiropractic Center Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Juneau for Back Pain Relief
At Aurora Chiropractic Center, our Juneau chiropractic patients get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic that is renowned, researched and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is really around the world…and right here in Juneau! In this piece, you will 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 describes how patients cared for with flexion distraction spinal manipulation attain 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 look for 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 say “Well, 50% doesn’t seem like that much.” Aurora Chiropractic Center must remind you that medicine now considers 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable to perform. (2, 3) Contrasted with those markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Aurora Chiropractic Center finds that many of our patients get even greater improvement: 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and higher. All cases and patients differ and have their own distinctive issues, but the clinical outcomes are satisfactory for Juneau 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 is 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 exhibited an instant response to it. They also admitted that traction research is short on reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its effectiveness. (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 increases by 28%, the disc height increases by 17%, and ranges of motion can be returned to specific spinal segments. (5) Aurora Chiropractic 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 revealed that disc heights significantly enlarged in chronic low back pain patients handled with flexion distraction and joint mobilization 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 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! Aurora Chiropractic Center talks about these biomechanical effects with our Juneau back pain patients all the time. 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 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 are so thankful he did.
