The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
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 narrow 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,
Plainville neck pain along with neck pain or not evolves. Layden Chiropractic, too, rises to the occasion to decrease
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the
form 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 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) Further, neural mobilization with manual
cervical traction for cervical spine radiculopathy in which a space-occupying
lesion irritates nerve roots was shown to reduce
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of
Plainville chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic. Your Plainville
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
means to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize 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 reducing
pain, increasing range of motion, and lessening
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Layden Chiropractic strives
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! Plainville neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Layden Chiropractic, Cox® Technic is used. It’s
the gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief.
In a study of 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 Plainville neck pain
and Plainville arm pain relief.
