NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Minster Chiropractic Center IS HERE TO
HELP!
As
much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it is a
pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic
care at our Minster chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to be relieving in a reasonably
brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt improvement
in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation session.
(1) Even for more difficult cases (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers
pain-relieving outcomes. A patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing
and radiating arm pain due to 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 who had neck pain and back pain reported decreased pain (which fell 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
lessen chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative
therapy lowers the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to continue
care ‘forever’. A new study wrote that chiropractors
don’t 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 guide
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Minster
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 into Minster Chiropractic Center daily! We are ready
to help each of them find a little more JOY of
the season!
Minster CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Minster 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 reduction
and better strength of cervical spine flexor, extensor and
scapular muscles. (6) To
improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found
that isometric exercises significantly reduced neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are easy exercises that do not
take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
