The cervical spine is an amazing moving
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 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 reatures also may influence
when there is neck pain, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Lynchburg neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Palmer 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 tested just how mobilization
and manipulation affected
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) Additionally, neural mobilization with manual
cervical traction for cervical spine radiculopathy in which a space-occupying
lesion irritates 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
Lynchburg chiropractic care at Palmer Chiropractic Center. Your Lynchburg
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the optimal
means to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge 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 reducing
pain, improving range of motion, and lessening
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Palmer Chiropractic Center 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 natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Lynchburg neck pain and arm pain
patients enjoy the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Palmer Chiropractic Center, Cox® Technic is used. 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% drop
in pain scores after 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 was treated 24 times 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 Lynchburg neck pain
and Lynchburg arm pain relief.
