• Cervicobrachialgia is a common condition among the population, associated with pain and upper limb impairment, and can become chronic.• Its therapeutic management is usually difficult and is mostly treated with pharmacological, surgical, and manual non-invasive physical therapy approaches.• 162 patients suffering from chronic cervicobrachialgia were treated with a single, noninvasive, device-mediated technique that uses mechanotransductive vibropercussion on the suboccipital myofascia.• Preliminary results indicate that this intervention (Atlasprofilax method) is highly effective and long-lasting in reducing pain, symptoms, and increasing the range of motion of the neck and upper limbs, resulting in high patient satisfaction.
