A logical question for any doctor to ask who is looking to incorporate a new protocol into his or her clinical practice. In fact, it should be asked of anything new. Where's the research? Where's the evidence? Where's the support? Cox Technic for spinal pain relief (back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain, disc related and non-disc related) invites such inquiry.
Cox Technic under its developer, Dr. James M. Cox, has come far in its nearly 50 years to gather the answers and has very talented researchers (chiropractic and medical and biomechanist PhDs from Hines VA, Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, Palmer Research, Univ of Iowa and others), instructors and physicians taking it forward. Comments from the physicians, the back pain specialists, who use and have taken training courses in Cox Technic best answer the posed question of "What's With Cox Technic?" Here are a few:
- "I must say, I am
so glad I made this transition to using the Cox technique. In only a few months I don't know how I would
practice without it anymore. I have
already had patients that I have treated for YEARS with typical diversified
technique that just accepted that they were never going to get relief from
their lower back pain and with only a couple of treatments with the Cox
protocol they are seeing significant improvements. With other cases where you have a rather
large patient, doing a side posture adjustment was impossible. Using an Activator or similar adjusting tool
was a joke and Thompson drops were minimally valuable. With my new Cox 8 table, it is so easy to
counter balance their weight and treat their lower back joints and disc
injuries with absolute ease. I no longer
have to cringe when I see them walk in the door. On another note, now that I have the
capability of doing cervical decompression techniques that has also opened up a
whole new world of options. I have a
patient that has been diagnosed with something called IBM or Inclusion Body
Myositis. Personally, before him, I had
never heard of it before. It reminds you
a lot of MS. Anyway, this patient was
quickly losing function of his arms. I
had worked with him over the past year using cold laser techniques which did
help some. His neurologist insisted that
he go see a PT and undergo 6-8 weeks of rehab exercises. Well, the patient came back after two visits
of PT and said that they had dismissed him and said that there was nothing they
could do for him. About this time I got
my Cox table and just for the hell of it I decided to add the cervical Cox protocol
to his treatment plan. I must tell you
to my absolute amazement, we have made more progress in a hand full of visits
then we had made all last year. I still
use the laser techniques, but combined with the Cox it has been amazing. The strength that is returning in his arms
was totally unexpected. I often joke
with him and remind him that "there is nothing that can be done to help
him"! I know I have a lot to learn
yet, but I truly appreciate all the work your father has put into this
technique. Since I've been out of
school, which has been about 17 years now, this is the first thing that I can
honestly say has made me feel proud to be a chiropractor. I wish I had met your father [[Dr. Cox]] sooner!" Dr. C.J. Valenti (email

- "The research strongly supports the technique and the
data/material are convincing/comprehensive for the public and healthcare
providers of other disciplines." - Part I, San Francisco, 1/12
- "Leander 'pumping the well' is not Cox [Technic]." - Part I, San Francisco, 1/12
- "Dr. Cox has
connected the dots." He has taken a lot of research from
different fields of practice and organized them for us practitioners. The
information and data from all the studies were well organized and just
opened my eyes. I could immediately identify many patients I treat. By the
way, that quote was my patient's! and (2) Dr. Cox has built a very
impressive research foundation where the researchers
sought him and his technique. He piqued their curiosity based on his work
and not marketing." - Part I, San Francisco, 1/12
Cox Technic is more than just a technique. It's a SYSTEM of understanding the biomechanics thoroughly enough to examine and diagnose a patient's condition and set the proper treatment plan for pain relief. Cox Technic pulls it all together, and Cox Seminars are the best places to learn more.
