Cox Part IV Thoracic Spine
By: National University of Health Sciences

Description: Chiropractic physicians are invited to join this weekend of thoracic spine care with the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management via various presentations: description of thoracic spine related conditions (exam/diagnosis/biomechanical tips), demonstration of treatments and protocols, and hands-on practice of treatment protocols and appropriate exercises. The interconnection of the vagus nerve, the autonomic nervous system, the celiac plexus, and the spine will be explored with references, treatment demonstrations, and hands-on practice (to include a new area of pull to force distraction). Finally, correlative spine manipulation and mobilization is a goal of this seminar, i.e., how does each spine area affect the full spine and how can chiropractic distraction spine manipulation contribute to the biomechanical correction for pain relief and disability reduction (of conditions like DISH, thoracic disc herniation, hyperkyphosis, upper thoracic syndrome, compression fracture, scoliosis, etc.)?

Goals/Objectives:

By the end of this weekend course, the attendees will have a list of research papers, diagnostic and examination tips, treatment protocols, exercises, and other ancillary treatment recommendations about thoracic spine conditions: DISH, thoracic disc herniation, hyperkyphosis, scoliosis (idiopathic/degenerative), compression fracture, and more. They will also understand more fully the relationship between spinal manipulation and the autonomic nervous system as medical literature documents today. Attendees will define the vagal nerve reflex and perform specialized manipulation (doming of the diaphragm/thoracic pump) and celiac plexus stimulation.

Topics:

Spinal manipulation of the thoracic spine, autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve reflex, hyperkyphosis, Scheuermann’s disease, DISH, compression fracture, thoracic disc herniation, scoliosis (idiopathic/degenerative), upper thoracic syndrome, pull to force distraction, Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for thoracic spine
