Dave Hodgson, an engineer, explains how the lumbar support he developed decompresses the spine while you wear it.

When the BaxMAX was created, we considered all of the shortcomings of a typical back brace in our design. First, the BaxMAX is not made of elastic. It’s made of a thin, porous nylon fabric (stitched with Kevlar) so it doesn’t stretch like an elastic back brace and is breathable. The material compound makes it extremely durable (has a 5-year warranty), yet comfortable enough to wear all day if needed, plus it doesn’t hold heat, so you won’t get hot and sweaty.

The patented 5:1 compound pulley system enables the BaxMAX to get 5X tighter than the elastic braces, resulting in 5 times the support. There are several back braces on the market that use cord-pulls to tighten, but it’s important to understand the difference.

A single pull back brace (like the BaxMAX) has only one pull that is connected to both sides of the brace and includes a series of “pulleys” to tighten the brace. This is called a compound pulley which gives you leverage when you are tightening the brace. For example, the BaxMAX has a 5:1 compound ulley, meaning that for every 5 inches you move the pull, the brace only moves 1 inch. The compound pulley effect enables you to get the brace tighter and provide more support than a multi-pull brace. In the case of the BaxMAX, it provides 5 times the amount of support. Also, thanks to the one-pull system, the BaxMAX can be loosened almost instantly which makes it quick and easy to release the support without taking off the brace. Then re-tightening is just and quick and easy. Our recommendation is to loosen the BaxMAX once per hour for 5-10 minutes, which ultimately addresses the muscle atrophy issue

On this episode, spine specialist, Dr. Jasmine Hornberger shares a story of a gentleman who she treated successfully with Cox Technic® before and after back surgery.

Jasmine Hornberger, DC

Chiropractor, Functional Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master

I am a chiropractor, energy healer, and guide for whole-body healing. I founded Everyday Alignment in Grand Haven, Michigan, as a space where people could reconnect with their bodies and find lasting wellness – not just quick fixes.

​With a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College and over 300 hours of post-doctoral training in functional nutrition, I blend evidence-based care with intuitive, heart-centered healing. My approach combines chiropractic techniques like the gentle Cox® traction with holistic tools such as fire cupping, reiki, and sound therapy.

My philosophy is simple: the body knows how to heal when we learn how to listen. I create a safe, grounded space for that listening to happen – where your nervous system can regulate, energy can shift, and healing can take root.

When you step into my practice, you’re not just getting an adjustment – you’re being invited back into alignment with yourself.

I am a UCLA-trained, triple board-certified physician (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, American Board of Addiction Medicine, American Board of Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine).
