Auburn Chiropractic Treatment of Neck Pain Involves Oscillatory Manipulation
The cervical spine is an amazing moving structure. It not only supports the weight of the head, 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 size of the cervical spine canal provided by the cervical spine vertebral bodies. (Other factors also may influence when neck pain occurs, but for this article, we are looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation, Auburn neck pain with or without arm pain evolves. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C., 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 documented just how manipulation and mobilization affected patients with neck pain of all types (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 goals of Auburn chiropractic care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.. Your Auburn chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven means to produce these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers recognize two 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 decreasing pain, improving range of motion, and diminishing disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However, oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for enhancing function and range of motion. (3) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. strives to deliver all the benefit possible to our cervical radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so uses 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, as well as a combination of them all! Auburn neck pain and arm pain patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C., Cox® Technic is used. it is a gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief. In a report on 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 reported relief after the first visit. She was treated 24 times 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 Auburn neck pain and Auburn arm pain relief.
