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 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 influence
when there is neck pain, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Groton neck pain along with neck pain or not arises. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office, 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 tested 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 bothers nerve roots was reported to reduce
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of
Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office. Your Groton
chiropractor keeps current on the optimal
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 effective 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 enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office does its best
to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so uses 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, as well
as a combination of them all! Groton neck pain and arm pain
patients enjoy the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office, 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 cared
for with Cox® Technic flexion distraction, there was a 41% decrease
in pain scores after a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman suffering
with 2 years of left arm pain reported 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 combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Groton neck pain
and Groton arm pain relief.
