NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries IS HERE TO
HELP!
As
much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a
pain in the neck. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is here to help! Chiropractic
care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is calm,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a reasonably
brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation session.
(1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management provides
pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with neck pain due
to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen
and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
reduced pain and better function in 10 visits in a month. The patient was without pain and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical
C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain stated that he
had decreased pain (which dropped from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to
alleviate chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative
therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the strongest indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Manchester
neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, going into
the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck
pain patients walk in our door daily! We are prepared
to help each one re-discover the JOY of
the season!
Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Manchester 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 decrease
and improved strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (6) To
improve neck pain and disability effects, a study tested and discovered
that isometric exercises significantly lowered neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are easy exercises that don’t
take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So
good!
