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 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 factors also may influence
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Malverne neck pain along with neck pain or not arises. Malverne Health & Wellness, 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 modes
of treatment for neck pain relief. A Cochrane review of published
randomized control trials that documented just how manipulation and mobilization impacted
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) 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
Malverne chiropractic care at Malverne Health & Wellness. Your Malverne
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
means to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize a couple 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 lessening
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Malverne Health & Wellness strives
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 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! Malverne neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Malverne Health & Wellness, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
a gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief.
In a study of 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 dealing
with 2 years of left arm pain stated relief after the first
visit. She had 24 visits over 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic blends the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Malverne neck pain
and Malverne arm pain relief.
