NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S
HELP!
As
much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a
pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic
care at our Plainville chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to be relieving in a fairly
brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt improvement
in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation treatment.
(1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers
pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with neck pain due
to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen
and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
reduced pain and better function in 10 treatments
over a month. The patient was without pain and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical
C6-7 fusion experiencing neck pain and back pain stated that he
had less pain (which dropped from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to
ease chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative
therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to continue
care ‘forever’. A recent study wrote that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the strongest guide
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Plainville
neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, radiating into
the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck
pain patients walk in our door every day! We are prepared
to help each of them find a little more JOY of
the season!
Plainville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Plainville pain relief - relief that lasts - often get
it when they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain reduction
and better strength of cervical spine flexor, extensor and
scapular muscles. (6) To
improve neck pain and disability effects, a study tested and discovered
that isometric exercises significantly lessened neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are simple exercises that do not
take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So
good!
