NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S
HELP!
Joy! Joy! Joy! That’s this time of year…for most of us. For some it can be a
pain in the neck. New Roads Chiropractic Center is here to help! Chiropractic
care at our New Roads chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a fairly
short timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt improvement
in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation treatment.
(1) Even for more difficult cases (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management provides
pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing
and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
less pain and improved function in 10 visits in 4 weeks. 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 decreased 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 reduces the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to undergo
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of
patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the most commong indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for New Roads
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 into New Roads Chiropractic Center every day! We are ready
to help each one re-discover the JOY of
the season!
New Roads CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want New Roads pain relief - relief that lasts - often get
it when they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program was
shown to be effective for non-specific neck pain decrease
and better 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 reduced neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are straightforward exercises that don’t
take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So
good!
