The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
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 small area. 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 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,
San Jose neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Chiropractic Solutions, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
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 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 reported to reduce
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of
San Jose chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions. Your San Jose
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
means 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 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) Chiropractic Solutions strives
to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so utilizes Cox®
Technic flexion distraction that incorporates 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! San Jose neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Chiropractic Solutions, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
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 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 was treated 24 times in 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for San Jose neck pain
and San Jose arm pain relief.
