hi guys!!
i got a query regardin a case of cxradiculopathy.pt 40 yr old female suffering from neck pain with tingling numbness in lt arm and hand,to be specific pt has tingling numbness in resting position this happens quite a lot thruout day,frequency of tinglin is 15 times/day approx.,no muscle weakness present,cx movts r free,x ray shows severe osteophytic changes at various level
treatment tried-
1)started with swd to neck with cx traction(mechanical)gradual progression
no significant improvemnt with above traditional protocol
2)manual traction gives temporary relief-pt does not have symtoms during traction -symtoms improves with manual traction -tried for 10 days but in vain
3)cx lateral glides with neural tissue mobilization-median and radial nerve biased are positive
pt had tremendous improvemnt on the following day , hardly had tingling in hand but did not last long-again the frequency is 12 to 14 times /day
4)now pt is only doing neural tissue mobilization-auto streching with thera band
5) tried with improving posture since pt has forwar head posture...strengthning deep neck flex with chin tuck also creates tingling in hand????????
i m bit confused how to go about the case????/
plez guide
reg.
bye
