Lesson Plan
Alleviation of Radiculopathy-Structural Rehabilitation of the Cervical Spine CBP® NP#45 We present a case of the restoration of upper limb radiculopathy with neck pain in a patient with a prominent lateral head translation posture treated by Berry translation traction as a part of Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP®) technique. Correcting the lateral head shift posture by by CBP Technique methods decreased the spinal nerve tension in the pons-cord tissue tract, releasing its intermittent impingement and subsequent arm numbness and hand weakness in this patient.
2-Way Cervical Kinematics Trial CBP® NP#46 Mobility of the cervical spine (neck) is very important for function, and abnormalities of motion can lead to increased rates of spine degeneration changes and neck pain. This study from Chiropractic BioPhysics and Cairo University examines the relationship between cervical lordosis (neck curvature) in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) -and improvement of cervical spine flexion and extension end range of motion kinematics in a population suffering from CSR. Improved lordosis in the study group was associated with significant improvement in the translational and rotational motions of the lower cervical spine. This finding provides objective evidence that cervical flexion/extension is partially dependent on the posture and sagittal curve orientation.
