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 small space. A slight irritation of a nerve may cause a slight bit
of pain or a great amount of pain depending on the size 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 are
looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation,
Montreal neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, 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 studied just how mobilization
and manipulation impacted
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) Additionally, 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
Montreal chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Your Montreal
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the research-proven
ways to deliver 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 successful in this study for decreasing
pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing
disability due to cervical spine radiculopathy. However,
oscillatory mobilization is described to be superior for improving
function and range of motion. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic strives
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 joining long-y distraction with range of motion natural
to the cervical spine: flexion, extension, lateral bending, rotation, as well
as a combination of them all! Montreal neck pain and arm pain
patients enjoy the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, 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 treated with Cox® Technic flexion distraction, there was a 41% drop
in pain scores after a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman dealing
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 blends the best of
both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Montreal neck pain
and Montreal arm pain relief.
