Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Carrolltown for Back Pain Relief
At Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, our Carrolltown chiropractic patients receive cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic, known, researched and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly around the world…and right here in Carrolltown! In this piece, you’ll read 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 describes how patients cared for with flexion distraction spinal manipulation reach 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.” Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation must share that medicine now considers 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable to offer. (2, 3) Compared to those markers for a practice to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 issues, but the clinical outcomes are pleasing for Carrolltown 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 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 acknowledged that traction research is short on reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its effectiveness. (4) Cox Technic can show 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 gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 increased in chronic low back pain patients treated with joint mobilization and flexion distraction techniques. Why did this happen? They explained that this treatment created negative pressure in the disc space to pull the moved 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 found in their biomechanical research of the effects of Cox® Technic flexion distraction on the lumbar spine in the 1990’s! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation talks about these biomechanical effects with our Carrolltown 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 led 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 thankful he did.
