Minster Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is a familiar condition drawing patients to our Minster chiropractic clinic! Minster Chiropractic Center finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent problem nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Minster Chiropractic Center is prepared to help find some relief from the neck pain with a Minster chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common approach is manual therapy. (Minster Chiropractic Center offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone enhanced perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability faster than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center has observed that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Minster Chiropractic Center goes with the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of the two that using both was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Minster Chiropractic Center finds that Minster neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
