arm paraesthesia

[nada2005]

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone could give me a hand!
I have a 63yr old male patient whos main problem is a paraesthesia of the R arm in the C6 distribution which came on "'overnight"" in Oct 2005 and has not changed since.
It is aggravated by Cx extension and relieved by flexion and he does not have it in neutral.
He has very mildly limited Cx rotation L and R and otherwise full Cx ROM. His Cx PAMs are unremarkable and do not reproduce or change symptoms.
He has no pain or change in strength in the R arm.
I have tried manual techniques to ''open up'' the C6 foramina which have not changed his symptoms. I have also tried Mckenzie techniques involving passive Cx retraction/manual traction combined with extension which he does not have symptoms with throughout the action but it returns immediately on retesting of ext in sitting.
Im stuck and would like your opinion on:
1) is it realistic to change these symptoms with manual techniques?
2) Any techniques you would suggest?
Look forward to hearing any responses I may get!
Thanks alot
