What Is Cervicobrachial Syndrome and How Can It Be Resolved for the LONG TERM?

Cervicobrachial syndrome is one of the diagnoses for which clients often come to us. Cervicobrachial syndrome is the result of pressure on the nerve roots of the cervical (neck) vertebrae, and it occurs as a result of degenerative changes, disc herniation, ossification of the vertebrae and/or a more serious injury to the cervical vertebrae.

It often occurs in people with a sedentary lifestyle – IT workers, dentists, office workers, drivers, teachers and the like.

Symptoms of cervicobrachial syndrome may include:
– Pain spreading from the neck towards the arms and fingertips;
– A feeling of numbness, “pins and needles” and coldness in the arms;
– Loss of sensation, muscle strength and reflexes in the arms.

With cervicobrachial syndrome, it is important to start the therapy process as soon as possible. In therapy we combine several techniques so that recovery is as good, quick and thorough as possible and so that we resolve the cause of the pain in the long term.

THERAPY

When treating cervicobrachial syndrome, we use various manual techniques to relax the neck muscles, with an emphasis on m. trapezius, m. levator scapulae and the cervical erectors, in order to properly prepare them for the targeted therapeutic exercises with which we strengthen them. By strengthening the neck muscles, we reduce the pressure on the cervical vertebrae, thereby reducing pain. In therapy we also use various high-tech devices that heat the tissue deeply and increase its blood flow, further enhancing the entire therapy process!
