Neck pain can significantly put
a damper on your everyday life—whether you sit at a desk all
day or deal with the aftermath
of poor posture or a prior injury. The good news is that directed
strength and stretch exercises, coupled with chiropractic
care at New Roads Chiropractic Center, can provide effective relief and long-term
benefits for New Roads neck pain sufferers.
THE ROLE OF STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING EXERCISES
Doing regular
strength-building and stretching exercises is vital for decreasing
neck pain and enhancing overall neck function. Strengthening
exercises zone in on the muscles that support your
neck, enhancing their endurance and reducing
the strain brought on by daily activities. Alternatively, stretching exercises help free tension by increasing
the flexibility and mobility of the cervical spine.
A 2024 systematic review by Nazwar et al. showed
that a dedicated exercise routine focusing on
these techniques can lead to substantial pain relief by
correcting craniovertebral alignment and enhancing muscle
coordination. Simple exercises like chin tucks, side stretches, and shoulder
blade squeezes are especially effective and simple
to incorporate into your daily routine. (1) We can talk about what exercises would be most beneficial for you at
your next New Roads chiropractic appointment.
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Chiropractic care offers another powerful
tool in the battle against New Roads neck pain. Spinal
manipulation techniques, specifically Cox®
Flexion-Distraction (CFD), have been shown to enhance mobility, ease
pressure on spinal nerves, and reduce discomfort triggered
by spinal conditions like cervical disc herniation and cervical stenosis. These are conditions
New Roads Chiropractic Center excitedly invites to the clinic!
For instance, a case study by Gudavalli and
Kruse involves a 33-year-old patient with severe neck
radiculopathy as a result of a cervical disc herniation. After being
treated with flexion-distraction manipulation, the patient had
remarkable relief as the technique gently decompressed the cervical
spine, decreased inflammation, and brought back
normal motion. (2) Do you know

THE POWER OF COMBINING BOTH APPROACHES
While each method is highly effective on its
own, combining strengthening/stretching exercises with New Roads
chiropractic care offers dynamic and enhanced
relief for neck pain sufferers. Chiropractic spinal manipulation addresses
structural issues and nerve compression while exercises help to maintain
and improve these improvements by developing
strength and flexibility. The synergy between the two
results in more long-term pain relief, better posture, and improved
quality of life.
