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’s a
pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic
care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is calm,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a relatively
brief period of time. 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 neck pain due
to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen
and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
reduced pain and better function in 10 treatments
over 4 weeks. The patient was pain
free 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 less pain (which dropped from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to
lessen chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative
therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to continue
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
don’t recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the strongest guide
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Tonawanda
neck pain whether it’s acute or chronic, radiating into
the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck
pain patients walk in our door every day! We are prepared
to help each one find a little more JOY of
the season!
Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Tonawanda
pain relief often get
it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program was
shown to be effective for non-specific neck pain decrease
and improved 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 lessened 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 beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
