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?

How Does Cervical Traction Affect Selected ECG Variables in Cervical Spondylosis Patients?

In 2006, Akinbo, et. al., conducted research about Cervical traction (CT). It is a commonly used therapy for cervical spondylosis (CS) patients, but there is a lack of consensus among clinicians regarding the optimal tractive force to be applied during CT. Determining the appropriate CT weight is crucial to minimize side effects and ensure effective treatment. To address this, a recent study aimed to investigate … Continue reading How Does Cervical Traction Affect Selected ECG Variables in Cervical Spondylosis Patients?
