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 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,
La Grande neck pain with or without arm
pain evolves. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, 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 tested 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) Additionally, neural mobilization with manual
cervical traction for cervical spine radiculopathy in which a space-occupying
lesion irritates 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 goals of
La Grande chiropractic care at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC. Your La Grande
chiropractor keeps up-to-date on the optimal
ways to deliver these outcomes.
BENEFITS OF OSCILLATORY MOBILIZATION
Researchers acknowledge a couple 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, increasing 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) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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, and a combination of them all! La Grande neck pain and arm pain
patients appreciate the positive clinical outcome!
BENEFITS OF COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN AND ARM PAIN RELIEF
At Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, Cox® Technic is implemented. It’s
the gentle, safe treatment protocol for neck pain and arm pain relief.
In a report on 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 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 La Grande neck pain
and La Grande arm pain relief.
