Dr. Kurt Olding and Mr. Don Wisner Donate Cox8 Table to NUHS
Monday, December 2, 2013
Dr. Kurt Olding and Mr. Don Wisner recently donated
a new Cox8 Table to National University of Health
Sciences. Dr. Olding is a 1984 DC graduate of National, and Mr.
Wisner is the president of Haven Innovation, Inc., the manufacturer of the
Cox8 Table, which it has engineered in partnership with Dr. James
Cox.
"Dr. James Cox has been a great mentor to me, so I'd like to
continue that legacy for the chiropractic students at National
University, by giving them greater access to new advances in
training within Dr. Cox's flexion-distraction technique," says Dr.
Olding, who has enjoyed a successful practice in Minster, Ohio for
over 28 years.
The Cox8 Table is the leading edge of technology in chiropractic
tables, and valued at over $17,500. According to Dr. Edward
Bifulco, a clinical instructor at NUHS with experience
administering certification tests in the Cox Technic System, there
are several advantages that set the Cox8 Table apart,
including:
Capability of both automated and manual long-axis
distraction- Cervical piece that will flex and extend laterally, flex and
rotate, and do long axis distraction
- Automated controls that are much easier to use
NUHS has many flexion-distraction tables in both its clinical
and educational facilities. The new Cox8 Table is housed in a
specially designated treatment room in the NUHS Whole Health
Center - Lombard, with a plaque commemorating the gift from Dr.
Olding and Mr. Wisner.
"We are especially grateful to Dr. Olding and Mr. Wisner for
this generous gift to our university," said President Stiefel. The
President, along with Dean of Clinics, Dr. Theodore Johnson, joined
with the Olding family and other university employees to
commemorate the gift. Dr. Olding was accompanied by his wife
Jackie, and his daughter Sunni, who is currently a student in the
NUHS DC program.
