There is sometimes confusion about kidney stones (calcium oxalate) and taking calcium. Well, calcium can actually be protective from kidney stone development. Drs. Oz and Roizen discuss this in their column that ran on January 16, 2012. You can read it at their website as well. Calcium may actually protect you from kidney stones.

Calling all certified Cox Technic physicians! Consider presenting a case at Part III Cox Seminar when you come. It doesn't take that much to prepare a 10 minutes case. Snap a picture here and there of the xrays or MRIs with your digital camera, even the patient's spine if it's of interest. Share the history, examination and diagnosis. Describe your flexion distraction treatment and its clinical outcomes. It's fun! These cases are the most exciting part of the Part III weekends anymore!

Join Dr. Cox and Dr. Gudavalli (at most of them) and share your clinical experiences. Dr. Cox will give you all the latest spinal research publications that impact your practice and share a few cases of his own. But everyone knows he has cases. This is your chance to share your clinical cases.

Let Julie know if you are willing to do this. Send your powerpoint to her 3 weeks prior so she can make notes. Then just be ready to share at a Cox® chiropractic continuing education seminar!

Dates and registration are online. Contact Julie at juliecoxcid@coxtechnic.com if you have any questions!

Oh - 12 hours of CE credits are arranged with our co-sponsor, National University of Health Sciences PLUS you get recertification credit!

Join the Part I Cox Seminar, the first course in the certification series, on January 21-22, 2012. San Francisco will be home for a couple days, and Dr. Ralph Kruse will lead the didactic and hands-on instruction. You will appreciate the thorough review of biomechanics and anatomy, enjoy the nutritional aspects of spine pain, and be enthused to participate in hands-on flexion distraction training as both a "patient" and doctor.

Cox Seminars offer much in the basics of spinal pain understanding from today's options of surgery, non-surgical and the research studies to support them. The federally funded research behind Cox Technic supporting its science and evidence-based reputation are presented.

Haven Innovation is sending a brand new Cox Table Model 8 for us to use, too!

So join us in San Francisco for 12 hours of continuing education that you will be excited to apply in practice. Click here for more information and here to register.

The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Laboratory at the Loyola University Medical Center, endearingly known as the Windy City Lab, is a site of federally funded research into the biomechanical and clinical studies of flexion-distraction, the technique also known as Cox Technic developed by Dr. James M. Cox. The most current project involves the cervical spine.

At the Windy City Lab, Dr. Avinash G. Patwardhan directs a team of orthopaedic surgeons, engineers, medical researchers and statisticians whose publishing credits include over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals like Spine, J of Bone and Joint Surgery and the J of Biomechanics. It's quite impressive what this small but mighty team has accomplished.

Dr. Ram Gudavalli, chiropractic researcher from Palmer Research Center and director of the chiropractic clinicians and researchers in this particular project under the direction of Christine Goertz, DC, PhD, works closely with Dr. Patwardhan and his team. Consulting chiropractic clinicians who volunteer their time and travel to this project include

• James M. Cox, DC, DACBR
• George Joachim, DC, DACRB
• Ralph Kruse, DC, DABCO
• Robert Rowell, DC 
• Michael Seidman, DC
• Robert Vining, DC

Each time these researchers and clinicians assemble, excitement abounds at the ability to document what happens during this flexion distraction procedure and at the collaborative efforts of all involved.
