EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options are plentiful. One popular method is manual therapy. (Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise lessened disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise by itself. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has observed that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Using the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.

(4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries realizes that Manchester neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
