Can drop work be done? Yes, a thoracic drop is available. If pelvic drop is desired, the patient positioning can be altered so the pelvis is on the bottom/caudal section of the thoracic cushion. The manual actuation drop is on the caudal portion of the thoracic cushion.
How is this compared to traction/decompression tables on the market? See this: click here and here and here for the European Spine Journal article. Why is The Cox®7 TableTM not available with the hy-lo feature? Experience with hy-lo in Dr. Cox's years of having patients in severe pain falling when they got off the table influenced the table design without hylo. It is better to have patients practice getting on and off the table in your office/presence as they will have to do this at home getting in/out of bed, in/out of car, etc. Patients are directed to tighten their abdominal and gluteal muscles to stabilize their spines when getting up and down.
What is decompression? Decompression is the reduction of intradiscal pressures to relieve pain.
Does The Cox®7 TableTM offer decompression? Yes, as Cox® Technic incorporates decompression by its application. Cox® Technic flexion-distraction makes decompression an integral part of the chiropractic adjustment delivered to the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, lumbosacral, or sacro-iliac spine joints at each patient visit.
Cox® Technic flexion distraction adjusting is specific vertebral segment adjusting, delivered at the level necessary for relief of stenosis and subluxation. It is given at all levels of the spine, most significant is the recent cervical and thoracic spine long-Y-axis distraction procedures for neck, thoracic, and arm pain in addition to the lumbar spine and pelvic long-Y-axis distraction adjusting techniques.
Cox® Technic flexion-distraction is research supported to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the foraminal area, and increase the intervertebral disc space height. Cox® Technic is a chiropractic adjusting procedure which, when replicated properly, can deliver reliable relief as demonstrated in the research findings.
Can side-posture (other techniques) be done the table? Yes, all sections of the table can be made level to accommodate other techniques' applications.
