Manahawkin Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care
Does any neck pain sufferer look forward to getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Not likely. New studies are explaining how receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done by chiropractors - may help such Manahawkin neck pain patients avoid treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Manahawkin back pain are leading causes of disability around the world and here in Manahawkin. Chiropractic is being reported as a safe, helpful option for management of back and neck pain for many sufferers. Chiropractic is described as care focused on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is described as inhibiting back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that control inflammatory pain responses. More research is called upon to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We utilize spinal manipulation daily at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is demonstrated to decrease the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients seeking relief find that their treatment is heightened to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such risk was 2.38 times higher in those who received care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the US. (2) Your Manahawkin chiropractor uses specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic flexion distraction, facilitates in relieving pain, a case report of a patient with neurofibromatosis who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release, patient education about adjusting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care decreased her neck and thoracic spine pain and headache frequency. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to give him/her the tools and knowledge to attain such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Showing chronic nonspecific Manahawkin neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to assist their understanding of their condition found that the combination helped more. The combination decreased the patients’ pain-disability indices, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s the goal of care for us at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center: less pain.
