Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Treatment of Neck Pain Involves Oscillatory Manipulation
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 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 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, Ashburn and Herndon neck pain with or without arm pain arises. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, too, rises to the occasion to reduce 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 manipulation and mobilization influenced 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 reduce pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor keeps current on the research-proven ways 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 reducing pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However, oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for improving function and range of motion. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn strives to deliver all the potential benefit to our cervical radiculopathy neck-related arm pain patients and so uses Cox® Technic flexion distraction that involves oscillatory motion by joining 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! Ashburn and Herndon neck pain and arm pain patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, Cox® Technic is used. it is a 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% decrease in pain scores in 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 in 6 months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic blends the best of both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Ashburn and Herndon neck pain and Ashburn and Herndon arm pain relief.
