February 2020 Healthy News from Wilson Family Chiropractic: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain

Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also suffered headache. (1) A new committee analysis of the latest relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic related that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors used manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more visits). (1) Millville chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It is also being found to be economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri documented that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, reduced in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs. (3) Chiropractic services at Wilson Family Chiropractic successfully relieves Millville neck pain for many.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well with exercise as a component of their treatment plan. Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises plus sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly advanced in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed. (4) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month period decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Millville neck pain is a great goal!
