Does combining cervical traction with neural mobilization improve outcomes in cervical radiculopathy patients?

Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a common condition characterized by the compression or irritation of nerve roots in the cervical spine, leading to pain and functional limitations. The use of various interventions, including cervical traction (CT) and neural mobilization (NM), has been reported in the management of CR. However, limited clinical data are available to support the effectiveness of these interventions. In 2021, Savva et al. … Continue reading Does combining cervical traction with neural mobilization improve outcomes in cervical radiculopathy patients?

Can Neurodynamics and Manual Traction Alone Match the Efficacy of Combination Therapy for Cervical Radiculopathy?

In 2019, Shafique, et. al., conducted study about Cervical radiculopathy, which is a condition characterized by pain and impaired function due to nerve root compression in the cervical spine, affects a significant number of individuals worldwide. Seeking to improve treatment outcomes for these patients, a recent randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of combining Mulligan Spinal Mobilisation with Arm Movement, neurodynamics, and manual traction. The … Continue reading Can Neurodynamics and Manual Traction Alone Match the Efficacy of Combination Therapy for Cervical Radiculopathy?
