BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization, nutrition, exercise, and research-suggested stretching in the general treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries utilizes The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to manage neck pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols produced total resolution of the patient’s subjective pain from a large C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 patients with cervical radiculopathy, Cox® flexion distraction reduced pain in 13.2 treatments (range 6 to 37). (2) A recent paper reports that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition of stretching to the plan was more helpful at enhancing cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion despite not touching pain and disability. (3) That’s where spinal manipulation and mobilization come into play. They help ease the pain and disability part. Including stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is beneficial and has its role in treating neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is important! Another research project further described that neck stretching is a most helpful physical therapy intervention. Static and diagonal active stretching were effective at decreasing neck disability and increasing cervical spine range of motion. Further, cervical range of motion values significantly showed increases at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study indicating beneficial long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping abreast of the neck pain relief studies, Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries makes sure to present benefits of a variety of ways to reduce neck pain.
