The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
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 narrow area. A slight irritation of a nerve may cause a slight 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 there is neck pain, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Fort Wayne neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the style of 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 tested just how manipulation and mobilization influenced
patients with neck pain of all stages (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 bothers 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 objectives of
Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc. Your Fort Wayne
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
ways to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize two types
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 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) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc does its best
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 natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Fort Wayne neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc, Cox® Technic is implemented. it is
a 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% drop
in pain scores after a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman suffering
with 2 years of left arm pain stated relief after the first
visit. She was treated 24 times 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 Fort Wayne neck pain
and Fort Wayne arm pain relief.
