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 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 neck pain occurs, but for this article, we are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Largo neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Hollstrom & Associates Inc, too, rises to the occasion to decrease
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 mobilization
and manipulation affected
patients with neck pain of all stages (acute, subacute and chronic)
found that they both improved
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 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 goals of
Largo chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc. Your Largo
chiropractor keeps current on the optimal
ways to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge a couple 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 decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 incorporates oscillatory motion
by combining long-y distraction with range of motion normal
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, and a combination of them all! Largo neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Hollstrom & Associates Inc, Cox® Technic is used. 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 treated 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 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 combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Largo neck pain
and Largo arm pain relief.
