Plainville Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is an ordinary condition bringing patients to our Plainville chiropractic clinic! Layden Chiropractic finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Layden Chiropractic is prepared to help find some relief from the neck pain with a Plainville chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.

EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?

Neck pain treatment options abound. One popular method is manual therapy. (Layden Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is combining both. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise reduced disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) A further research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise by itself. (2) Layden Chiropractic has observed that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Layden Chiropractic goes with the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped cervical spine intradiscal pressures. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction alone to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of the two that combining the two was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Layden Chiropractic realizes that Plainville neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
