Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Manahawkin for Back Pain Relief
At Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, our Manahawkin chiropractic patients receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic that is renowned, well-studied and relieving for back pain. Cox® Technic is really around the world…and right here in Manahawkin! In this piece, you’ll read papers from Spain, Korea, Japan, and the US about Cox® Technic and how it relieves back pain.
SPAIN: 50% AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES
A recent research paper by researchers and physiotherapists in Spain describes how patients treated 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.” Manahawkin Chiropractic Center must remind you that medicine now looks at 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to deem a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable to do. (2, 3) Compared to those markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Manahawkin 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 unique issues, but the clinical outcomes are satisfactory for Manahawkin back pain sufferers who really want to get back to a reasonable quality of life.
JAPAN & US: TRACTION AND COX® TECHNIC
Traction is effective treatment…for certain patients and when it is used with 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 showed an immediate 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 present 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 gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic 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 treated with flexion distraction and joint mobilization techniques. How does 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 reduce 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! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center talks about these biomechanical effects with our Manahawkin back pain patients all the time. It’s key 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 headed 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 to the US from India! We are so thankful he did.
