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 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 factors also may come into play
when there is neck pain, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Millville neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Wilson Family Chiropractic, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization a la 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 enhanced
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
Millville chiropractic care at Wilson Family Chiropractic. Your Millville
chiropractor keeps current on the optimal
ways to produce 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 successful in this study for decreasing
pain, increasing range of motion, and decreasing
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Wilson Family 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 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! Millville neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Wilson Family Chiropractic, Cox® Technic is implemented. 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 after 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 in 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic blends the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Millville neck pain
and Millville arm pain relief.
