The cervical spine is an amazing moving
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 little irritation of a
nerve may cause a little bit
of pain or a great amount of pain depending on the size of the
cervical spine canal created by the cervical spine vertebral
bodies. (Other factors also may come into play
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
New Roads neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. New Roads Chiropractic Center, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the
form 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 manipulation and mobilization impacted
patients with neck pain of all types (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 irritates 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 objectives of
New Roads chiropractic care at New Roads Chiropractic Center. Your New Roads
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
means to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge a couple types
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 decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) New Roads Chiropractic Center strives
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 natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! New Roads neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At New Roads Chiropractic Center, Cox® Technic is implemented. it is
the 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% decrease
in pain scores in a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman dealing
with 2 years of left arm pain reported relief after the first
visit. She had 24 visits over 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for New Roads neck pain
and New Roads arm pain relief.
