The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
structure. It not only supports the weight of the skull, it also
houses a variety of important structures like the spinal cord and its
nerves in a very narrow area. A slight irritation of a nerve may cause a slight bit
of pain or a great amount of pain depending on the size of the
cervical spine canal provided by the cervical spine vertebral
bodies. (Other reatures also may influence
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Severna Park neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Back And Neck Care Center, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the style of Cox® Technic.
BENEFITS OF MOBILIZATION AND MANIPULATION
Both manipulation and mobilization are treatment methods for neck pain relief. A Cochrane review of published
randomized control trials that studied just how mobilization
and manipulation influenced
patients with neck pain of all stages (acute, subacute and chronic)
found that they both enhanced
these patients’ clinical outcomes like pain, function, disability, and quality
of life. (1) Further, neural mobilization with manual
cervical traction for cervical spine radiculopathy in which a space-occupying
lesion bothers nerve roots was reported to reduce
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the goals of
Severna Park chiropractic care at Back And Neck Care Center. Your Severna Park
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
means to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge two forms
of mobilization and manipulation: static or sustained and oscillatory or
motion-driven. Oscillatory or motion-combined mobilization and sustained
stretch mobilization were successful in this study for decreasing
pain, increasing range of motion, and lessening
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Back And Neck Care Center does its best
to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so utilizes Cox®
Technic flexion distraction that incorporates oscillatory motion
by joining long-y distraction with range of motion normal
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Severna Park neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Back And Neck Care Center, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
a gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief.
In a study of 39 patients with cervical arm pain radiculopathy treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction, there was a 41% reduction
in pain scores in a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman dealing
with 2 years of left arm pain stated relief after the first
visit. She had 24 visits over 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic blends the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Severna Park neck pain
and Severna Park arm pain relief.
