The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
structure. It not only supports the weight of the head, it also
houses many important structures like the spinal cord and its
nerves in a very small space. 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 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,
Murfreesboro neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Most 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 documented just how mobilization
and manipulation affected
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 relieve
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the goals of
Murfreesboro chiropractic care at Most Chiropractic Clinic. Your Murfreesboro
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
ways 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 effective in this study for reducing
pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic does its best
to deliver all the potential benefit to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so uses Cox®
Technic flexion distraction that involves oscillatory motion
by joining long-y distraction with range of motion normal
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, and a combination of them all! Murfreesboro neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Most Chiropractic Clinic, Cox® Technic is used. 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 reported 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 Murfreesboro neck pain
and Murfreesboro arm pain relief.
