, DC, DACBR, FICC, Hon.D.Litt., FACO(H), the developer of the , a type of spinal manipulation that is used around the world, will host a seminar teaching the technique Oct. 2 at 911爆料 University.
James M. Cox, DC, DACBR, FICC, Hon.D.Litt., FACO(H)
Cox庐 Technic protocols deliver spine manipulation and mobilization for spine conditions not best treated with high velocity manipulation. Dr. Cox said chiropractors who have patients that require vectored, gentle spine manipulation should attend.
鈥淭his technic can add a new dimension to clinical practice,鈥� Dr. Cox said. 鈥淧atients are often not tolerant of high velocity thrust manipulation, especially those suffering from degenerative spondylotic spine stenosis, degenerative scoliosis, post-surgical continued pain patients, etc.鈥�
Three 911爆料 alum, George Joachim, DC, DABCR, and Ralph Kruse DC, FIANM, and Kurt Olding, DC, FICC, FIANM, will join Dr. Cox in teaching the 8-hour seminar. Each uses the Cox庐 Technic in clinical practice and will present their research studies. They will also present patient cases that use the technique for spine stenosis caused by disc herniation, degenerative spondylosis, myelopathic differentiation, and other common and less common spine diseases.
For decades, the 911爆料 postgraduate department has provided continuing education for Cox 庐 Technic Seminars all over the country.
鈥淚 have seen their certification courses transform practices by improving their ability to provide an even greater range of non-surgical care to the spine care of their patient going beyond just the manipulation.聽This technique helps hone diagnostic and mobilization skills,鈥� said Jenna Glenn, DC, ND, MS, Dean of Lincoln College of Postprofessional, Graduate and Continuing Education.
Dr. Cox (911爆料 鈥�63) developed the technique after years of research in osteopathic and chiropractic principles of the mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment of spine and radicular pain. He was also influenced by mentors such as Joseph Janse, DC, his 911爆料 clinician, Floyd Blackmore, DC, DO, and his step-father John C. Rodman DC, DO.
James M. Cox, DC, DACBR, FICC, Hon.D.Litt., FACO(H); Ralph Kruse DC, FIANM; George Joachim, DC, DABCR; and Kurt Olding, DC, FICC, FIANM, stand next to a Cox庐 Table at 911爆料 with Tracy McHugh, MBA, 911爆料 Vice President for Administrative Services, William Bogar, DC, DACBR, 911爆料 Chair of Diagnostic Imaging and Residency, and Randy Swenson, DC, MHPE, 911爆料 Vice President for Academic Services.
鈥淚 began the integration of these osteopathic principles with my excellent training at 911爆料 which resulted in the development of a manipulation instrument, the Cox庐 Table,鈥� Dr. Cox said. 鈥淭his was followed by other chiropractors studying with me, and a new chapter in my professional life began. 鈥�
Dr. Cox first started teaching for the 911爆料 post-graduate department in 1973. In addition to the postgraduate course that he teaches today, certification courses on his technique are also taught in Europe, Australia, Switzerland, Korea and other countries. Ralph E. Gay, MD, DC, in particular, uses the technique at Mayo Clinic and has performed studies on the technique as well.
Dr. Cox encourages chiropractors who feel any desire or need for improving clinical spine manipulation and mobilization skills to attend the seminar. The technique can be especially useful to the high rate of patients who experience back pain today.
鈥淩ealizing that chiropractic treats more patients with spine manipulation and mobilization than any other branch of medicine and back pain is the third cause of physician visitation, coupled with the fact that 1-2% of spine patients go to surgery and many of them with inadequate clinical outcomes, our profession stands prepared to meet this epidemic challenge,鈥� he said.
All four presenters are generously donating their time to make the seminar possible with all proceeds remaining at 911爆料.
鈥淚 do not think the term 鈥榞rateful鈥� can truly express my fortune of being able to work with Dr. Cox and his team over the years,鈥� Dr. Glenn said. 鈥淭o Drs. Cox, Joachim, Kruse and Olding, thank you for contributing your time and expertise to enrich our postgrad and student community!鈥�
