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 small area. 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 reatures also may influence
when there is neck pain, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Pensacola neck pain with or without arm
pain arises. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center, 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 modes
of treatment for neck pain relief. A Cochrane review of published
randomized control trials that studied just how mobilization
and manipulation influenced
patients with neck pain of all types (acute, subacute and chronic)
found that they both improved
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 goals of
Pensacola chiropractic care at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center. Your Pensacola
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
ways to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge 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 decreasing
pain, improving range of motion, and diminishing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center 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 incorporates 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! Pensacola neck pain and arm pain
patients enjoy the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center, Cox® Technic is used. 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 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 suffering
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 Pensacola neck pain
and Pensacola arm pain relief.
