Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre Offers the World-Studied Cox® Technic Here in Toronto for Back Pain Relief
At Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, our Toronto chiropractic patients get cutting-edge spinal care in the form of Cox® Technic that is known, researched and helpful for back pain. Cox® Technic is truly around the world…and right here in Toronto! 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 reports that patients treated with flexion distraction spinal manipulation get 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 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.” Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre must comment that medicine now sees 30% and even 20% improvement as “minimal clinical improvement” to declare a medical procedure like spine surgery valuable to perform. (2, 3) Contrasted with those markers for a procedure to be medically beneficial, Cox® Technic’s 50% Rule guide and attainment is amazing! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 Toronto back pain sufferers who just 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’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 showed an instant response to it. They also acknowledged that traction research is short on reproducibility, biomechanical confirmation, and clinical validation of its usefulness. (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 enlarges by 28%, the disc height gets bigger by 17%, and ranges of motion can be restored to specific spinal segments. (5) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 enlarged in chronic low back pain patients handled 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 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! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre shares these biomechanical effects with our Toronto back pain patients all the time. It is 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 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, adds to the world-wide flare of Cox® Technic as he came here from India! We are so grateful he did.
