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 provided by the cervical spine vertebral
bodies. (Other factors also may come into play
when there is neck pain, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Fort Wayne neck pain along with neck pain or not arises. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic, 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 studied just how manipulation and mobilization impacted
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
Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Your Fort Wayne
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the optimal
means to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge a couple 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 reducing
pain, improving range of motion, and lessening
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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 normal
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, and a combination of them all! Fort Wayne neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Aaron Chiropractic Clinic, Cox® Technic is implemented. 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 cared
for 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 was treated 24 times 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 Fort Wayne neck pain
and Fort Wayne arm pain relief.
