The cervical spine is an amazing moving
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 narrow 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 come into play
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Manahawkin neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, 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 treatment methods for neck pain relief. A Cochrane review of published
randomized control trials that documented just how mobilization
and manipulation influenced
patients with neck pain of all stages (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 goals of
Manahawkin chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center. Your Manahawkin
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
ways to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge two forms
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, improving range of motion, and diminishing
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Manahawkin 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 incorporates oscillatory motion
by combining long-y distraction with range of motion normal
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Manahawkin neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, Cox® Technic is used. 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% 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 reported 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 Manahawkin neck pain
and Manahawkin arm pain relief.
