Donation Opportunities
Research is an expensive yet invaluable undertaking for any profession. Chiropractic research, specifically that for flexion distraction, is on-going with some federal funds and other organization funds, but behind every federal grant or organization frunding award is much personal funding. Personal funding from practitioners supports on-going projects in which federal funds may become low or for new project ideas that must be tested and proven viable before more federal funding is granted.
A note from Dr. Cox...
If you would be interested in supporting the on-going research efforts into the efficacy, efficiency, biomechanics of and outcomes of Cox Technic, your assistance is greatly appreciated by the flexion distraction researchers headed up by Dr. Ram Gudavalli. There are three options:
1- COX FUND @ National University of Health Sciences
The National University has a dedicated fund for collection of funds to help fund on-going as well as pilot studies on Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction and Decompression Adjustment & Manipulation.
BONUS: For your donation of at least $100, you will receive a copy of the 10 minute research video depicting intradiscal pressure drops which the technique is performed as well as footage of the facet openings and gappings while distraction motions are applied to each level.
2 -COX FUND @ Palmer Research Center, Davenport
A fund is established at Palmer Research Center in Davenport to further the research interests at Palmer under the watchful eye of Dr. Ram Gudavalli who is the principal investigator of flexion-distraction studies.
3 - TABLE DONATION IN MEMORY OF SHARINA GUDAVALLI DC
Dr. Ram Gudavalli's daughter, Sharina Gudavalli, DC, passed away in a tragic traffic accident. Dr. Sharina, following her father's footsteps, was involved in writing several papers regarding flexion-distraction clinical cases with Dr. Ralph Kruse and Dr. Jerrilyn Cambron among others. Her talent and calm, patient research skills are sorely missed.
Dr. Cox and Dr. Gudavalli have worked with Palmer to set aside funds for the purchase of The Cox®7 Table by Track Corporation to be placed in Palmer's Outreach Clinic. Dr. Sharina was always concerned for the lesser fortunate. For more information, please click here. Dr. Cox gave the first $1000 and several doctors have followed suit. Your donation is greatly appreciated for both Dr. Sharina and Dr. Ram Gudavalli and family. About 2/3 has been collected as of 7/1/10. Thank you! |
