The cervical spine is an amazing moving
structure. It not only supports the weight of the skull, it also
houses many important structures like the spinal cord and its
nerves in a very small space. A little irritation of a
nerve may cause a little bit
of pain or a great amount of pain depending on the area of the
cervical spine canal created 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,
Fernandina Beach neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic, too, rises to the occasion to decrease
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the style of Cox® Technic.
BENEFITS OF MOBILIZATION AND MANIPULATION
Both manipulation and mobilization are modes
of treatment for neck pain relief. A Cochrane review of published
randomized control trials that studied just how mobilization
and manipulation impacted
patients with neck pain of all types (acute, subacute and chronic)
found that they both improved
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 shown to relieve
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the goals of
Fernandina Beach chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. Your Fernandina Beach
chiropractor keeps current on the optimal
means to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize two types
of mobilization and manipulation: static or sustained and oscillatory or
motion-driven. Oscillatory or motion-combined mobilization and sustained
stretch mobilization were effective in this study for decreasing
pain, increasing range of motion, and decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic strives
to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so uses Cox®
Technic flexion distraction that involves oscillatory motion
by combining long-y distraction with range of motion natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Fernandina Beach neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Amelia Chiropractic Clinic, Cox® Technic is implemented. it is
the gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief.
In a report on 39 patients with cervical arm pain radiculopathy treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction, there was a 41% drop
in pain scores in a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman suffering
with 2 years of left arm pain stated relief after the first
visit. She was treated 24 times in 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Fernandina Beach neck pain
and Fernandina Beach arm pain relief.
