The cervical spine is an amazing moving
structure. It not only supports the weight of the skull, it also
houses many important structures like the spinal cord and its
nerves in a very narrow space. 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 reatures also may influence
when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we’re
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Buffalo, NY neck pain with or without arm
pain arises. The Novelli Wellness Center, too, rises to the occasion to reduce
that pain with gentle, oscillatory mobilization in the
form of 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 studied just how mobilization
and manipulation influenced
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) Further, neural mobilization with manual
cervical traction for cervical spine radiculopathy in which a space-occupying
lesion bothers 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 objectives of
Buffalo, NY chiropractic care at The Novelli Wellness Center. Your Buffalo, NY
chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven
means to deliver 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 decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) The Novelli Wellness Center strives
to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical
radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so utilizes Cox®
Technic flexion distraction that involves 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! Buffalo, NY neck pain and arm pain
patients enjoy the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At The Novelli Wellness Center, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
the 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% reduction
in pain scores after a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman suffering
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 combines the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Buffalo, NY neck pain
and Buffalo, NY arm pain relief.
