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. Wilson Family Chiropractic is here to help! Chiropractic
care at Wilson Family Chiropractic is calm,
effective, and proven to alleviate pain in a fairly
short period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt that their neck disability was improved 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 as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
reduced pain and improved function in 10 visits in 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 reported less pain (which dropped 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, proposed that manipulative
therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to undergo
care ‘forever’. A recent study stated that chiropractors
don’t recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of
patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the most commong indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Millville
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 Wilson Family Chiropractic every day! We are prepared
to help each one re-discover the JOY of
the season!
Millville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Millville
pain relief often get
it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved 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 lessened neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are straightforward exercises that do not
take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
