Cervical Spine - Biomechanical Outcomes

Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression for the cervical spine had its start in the 1980's and became available in 1991. Since then, clinical outcomes and case reports have been published. Federal grants from Health Resources and Services Administration proceeded. Those studies went well, and further funding for biomechanical study was awarded. This is quite an exciting time for Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction as the biomechanical effects on the cervical spine elements are measured for their effect.
