Dr. James Cox presented a webinar that included cases from his clinical practice and demonstration of their treatment on The Cox8 Table by Haven Innovation:

• degenerative scoliosis with osteoporosis
• compression fracture care and options
• disc herniation, spianl stenosis
• disc extrusion

It's always a comfort for both the doctor and the back pain patient to see that other doctors and patients have successfully dealt with the same condition or combination of conditions successfully for relief of pain. Dr. Cox shares the history, examination findings, imaging, diagnosis, treatment and ancillary care (exercise, nutrition, belt, electrical stimulation, hot/cold therapy, etc.)

In a practical way, Dr. Cox shows that these cases come into the chiropractor's office seeking relief and can get it.

It's been over a year since I added anything to our Cox Technic blog. Time flies! Social media demands grow. Spinal research keeps coming. So here goes some sharing of spinal research that helps the back pain specialist who helps relieve back pain and neck pain in his or her patients. 

Depression slows patient recovery. That makes sense doesn't it? In this newly published article (Melloh M, Elfering A, Käser A, Salathé CR, Barz T, Aghayev E, Röder C, TheisJC. Depression impacts the course of recovery in patients with acute low-back pain. Behav Med. 2013;39(3):80-9. doi: 10.1080/08964289.2013.779566.), the researchers report that recovery is slower in depressive patients. Further, they report that depression is associated with low back pain especially after 6 weeks of pain. So take note of your patient's state of mind when you care for him or her. Co-manage it if necessary. Such extra care may well improve your low back pain clinical outcomes!

Pelvic Pain and Organic Dysfunction, the book by Dr. James Browning, is back in stock!

So many doctors find pelvic pain in their patients which makes this book so timely. For you and even PPOD patients who suffer, Dr. Browning writes in an easy-to-read and understand fashion about a new solution to chronic pelvic pain and disturbances of bladder, bowel, gynecologic, and sexual function that accompany it. You as the treating physician can replicate his protocols to help your patients, and your patients can read about how to help themselves as they heal.

Case presentations of actual patients are included with their examination findings, their treatment plans, and their results.

Treament with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction is detailed as well as the ancillary care that helps these patients get relief.

Since the early days of his chiropractic career, Dr. James Cox has studied the nutrition of the disc right alongside all the biomechanical influences and clinical treatment approaches. Nutrition of the disc is important! Building cartilage, reducing inflammation, slowing degeneration and regenerating cartilage are positive outcomes for lower back pain patients. So he developed Discat Plus for his patients as part of the Cox Technic System for Spinal Pain Management.

Discat Plus has glucosamine sulfate plus the minerals found in the disc, but it also uses perna canaliculus as the source for the chondroitin sulfate. Perna Canaliculus is so beneficial! It is reported in the medical literature studies to improve cartilage (like knee and disc) mobility, pain and stiffness. A new report just coming out discusses perna's positive effect on gastrointestinal dysfunction (in 49% of osteoarthritis patients), too! Back and neck pain sufferers benefit as well as osteoarthritis sufferers.

Check out more information, an audio discussion about disc nutrition by Dr. Cox, and more details about the ingredients in Discat Plus to benefit the disc's cartilage alongside the  flexion distraction chiropractic spinal manipulation adjustment!

Cox Technic Flexion Distraction protocols are safe and well-studied, published and ready for duplication and application in your practice as well as scrutiny in the literature. Chiropractic journals offer much to the chiropractic profession to share what it does, the research behind it, the documentation of its results.

Cox Technic for nearly half a century under the influence of Dr. James Cox, its developer, is researched and documented. Chiropractors are encouraged to publish their outcomes with Cox Technic spinal manipulation. Researchers are awarded federal and other grant funds to study the biomechanics and clinical aspects of Cox Technic. Loyola Stritch School of Medicine's Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Laboratory is even involved. 

It's important then to offer an outlet to all physicians to hear first hand the outcomes and published clinical findings as well as experience and finetune the proper application of the evidence-based protocols so that the clinical outcomes may be similar across the board.

So Cox Seminars are the outlets for this sharing of technique and research for clinical application. Join a Cox Seminar in Orlando (March 24-25), Toronto (April 21-22) or Portland ME (May 5-6) to get the support you desire for your chiropractic practice. Taught by clinicians who use Cox Technic day in and day out in their practices and who participate in clinical and federally funded research who talk to you in daily practice language, Cox Seminars are practical, exciting you for your Monday morning practice.

An eye-opening article in the Houston Press reports on the veterans coming home from wars in the Middle East, suffering with back pain and sciatica.

Back packs of 80 and 90 and 100 plus pounds that must be carried by on their backs plus the body armor of 30 to 40 pounds is being discussed as a culprit. Amazing that airport baggage over 50 pounds is considered too heavy and charged a surplus fee. Shipping companies charge extra for heavier loads, too. Military men and women carry these heavy loads daily and jump in and out of vehicles according to this article. No wonder lower back pain and leg pain (sciatica) is an issue.

The Veterans Administration does what it can. It seems that a suggestion was bantered around for a "back pain management clinic" to be added to all VA Hospitals. That didn't happen. Chiropractic is supposed to be available in all the VA Hospitals. It's coming slowly, it seems, but has never been in more demand. Chiropractic's non-surgical and non-drug approach may certainly meet the demand because these veterans don't want to take drugs and have surgery if they don't have to. Cox Technic may be the successful back surgery alternative for them.

Cox Technic is poised ready with certified and otherwise trained physicians to meet the demand for back pain relief for US veterans. A few bases even have Cox Tables and physicians on staff who treat the veterans with back pain, and these docs are busy.

We wish our veterans safety, thank them for their service, and hope more of them get access to chiropractic and even Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Spinal Manipulation care for their back pain.

• article on a veteran who did get flexion distraction care
• article reviewing how chiropractic is integrated into VA
• article on current integration of chiropractic into VA

We have added a new page on Post Surgical Continued Pain (aka FBSS) Lower Back Pain Relief with Cox Technic. Today's chiropractic practices are seeing so many patients now who have already had back surgery of some sort. Cox Technic is a gentle, safe, documented means to relief for these post-surgical back pain patients. Two interesting articles on these patients come from Dr. Ralph Kruse and Dr. Jerrilyn Cambron: a case report of one patient and a review study of 32 FBSS patients.

Now is the time to tell patients what Cox Technic can do. A page description of the PSCP patient and positive outcomes with chiropractic care are highlighted.

Just sharing...

Dr. James Cox, developer of the flexion distraction system of non-surgical protocols for the care of spine pain patients, hosts this low back webinar from his personal home-office which is equipped with The Cox Table to demonstrate treatment as well as share slides via his computer. Research updates - He is going to first present some of the most recent and the most exciting research published findings then patient cases, including imaging, history, treatment, outcome.

Dr. Cox presents actual patient cases from examination, diagnosis, imaging, treatment plans and goals to treatment demonstration of Disc Herniation, Fracture, Motor Weakness, Bilateral Stenosis, Bilateral Radiculopathy, Radicular Pain on side opposite the herniation. He shares a case of a Post Surgical Low Back patient he has cared for and followed for 16 years. This patient didn't want any more back surgery and chooses to be a chiropractic Cox Technic patient and modify his life ergonomically to control his back pain so it doesn't control him or his desired lifestyle.

One attendee of the LIVE webinar wrote "Thank you for the superb seminar. Wow. Dr Cox was on fire! I like the new look of the slides background and graphics. Keep it up. Amazing cases. Anxious to be attending the next webinar." Register to see the excitement yourself. The course is just an hour and 5 minutes that go by quite quickly.

Vancouver's Dr. Richard Hunter practices at one of the 20 chiropractic clinics joining Dr. James Cox in gathering data on how flexion distraction and decompression Cox Technic helps these patients. Recent published reports by Kruse and Cambron (one on 32 cases and one case report on one post surgical continued pain patient) share how Cox Technic relieved this post surgical pain in these patients who had undergone back surgery but have pain still. These papers are good starts. This next step is gathering information from many chiropractic offices caring for patients similarly and analyzing this data.

Dr. Cox set this study up with assistance from statisticians at Purdue University and input from Dr. Ram Gudavalli. Twenty clinics in US and Canada are participating. They are letting their communities know that they are doing this collection study as well, and Dr. Hunter shared this information with Dr. Don Nixdorf who hosts a radio show in Vancouver called the "Dr. Don Show" as well as the executive director of the British Columbia Chiropractic Association.

Dr. Don invited Dr. Hunter and Dr. Cox to join him to discuss chiropractic and its care of the post surgical continued pain patient. They talked for about an hour. To hear and watch their interaction, please check out this podcast video shared by the "Dr. Don Show" and 630am.

If you are a patient seeking care for post surgical continued pain, consult a local certified Cox Technic doctor.

If you are a physician seeking more information on the Cox Technic System of protocols for spine pain relief, please contact us or check information on our seminars. You may even want to watch the FBSS webinar in which Dr. Cox presents statistics on back surgery outcomes as well as options and how Cox Technic protocols may be applied to the spine.
