The cervical spine is an amazing motion-appreciating
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 space. 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 provided 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,
Toronto neck pain along with neck pain or not evolves. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, 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 mobilization
and manipulation affected
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 bothers nerve roots was reported to relieve
pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor
endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of
Toronto chiropractic care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. Your Toronto
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
ways to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize 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, improving range of motion, and diminishing
disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing
function and range of motion. (3) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, and a combination of them all! Toronto neck pain and arm pain
patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, Cox® Technic is implemented. 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% decrease
in pain scores after 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 had 24 visits over 6
months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Toronto neck pain
and Toronto arm pain relief.
