NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center IS HERE TO
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 our Manahawkin chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a relatively
brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
reported that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation treatment.
(1) Even for cases that more difficult (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
less pain and better function in 10 visits in a month. The patient was pain
free and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical
C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain stated that he
had less pain (which fell from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to
lessen chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative
therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
don’t recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were recommended for 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 Manahawkin
neck pain whether it’s 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 this
Manahawkin chiropractic office daily! We are prepared
to help each of them re-discover the JOY of
the season!
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Manahawkin
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 reduction
and better strength of cervical spine flexor, extensor and
scapular muscles. (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 easy exercises that do not
take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
