Baton Rouge Chiropractic Treatment of Neck Pain Involves Oscillatory Manipulation
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 area. 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’re looking at the spinal structure.) When there is pain-producing irritation, Baton Rouge neck pain along with neck pain or not arises. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers, too, rises to the occasion to decrease 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 studied just how manipulation and mobilization affected 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 irritates nerve roots was shown to relieve pain and improve neck disability, range of motion and even deep flexor endurance. (2) Such clinical outcomes are the objectives of Baton Rouge chiropractic care at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers. Your Baton Rouge chiropractor keeps up-to-date 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 effective in this study for decreasing pain, increasing range of motion, and lessening disability related to cervical spine radiculopathy. However, oscillatory mobilization is reported to be superior for enhancing function and range of motion. (3) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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 involves 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! Baton Rouge neck pain and arm pain patients embrace the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers, Cox® Technic is implemented. it is 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% reduction in pain scores after a mean of 13.8 visits. (4) A 51 year old woman dealing with 2 years of left arm pain stated relief after the first visit. She was treated 24 times in 6 months and was symptom-free at 1 year follow-up. (5) Cox® Technic combines the best of both oscillatory manipulation and mobilization for Baton Rouge neck pain and Baton Rouge arm pain relief.
