The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
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 factors also may come into play
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Tonawanda neck pain along with neck pain or not arises. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, too, rises to the occasion to decrease
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization a la 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 documented just how manipulation and mobilization influenced
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 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 goals of
Tonawanda chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. Your Tonawanda
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 decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation strives
to deliver all the potential benefit to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so utilizes 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, and a combination of them all! Tonawanda neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, 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 cared
for 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 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 combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Tonawanda neck pain
and Tonawanda arm pain relief.
