The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
structure. It not only supports the weight of the head, it also
houses a variety of 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 area of the
cervical spine canal provided by the cervical spine vertebral
bodies. (Other reatures 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,
West Palm Beach neck pain with or without arm
pain arises. Moses Chiropractic, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
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 manipulation and mobilization 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 reported to relieve
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of
West Palm Beach chiropractic care at Moses Chiropractic. Your West Palm Beach
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
means to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize 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, increasing range of motion, and diminishing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Moses Chiropractic 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, and a combination of them all! West Palm Beach neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Moses Chiropractic, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
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 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 had 24 visits over 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic blends the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for West Palm Beach neck pain
and West Palm Beach arm pain relief.
