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 is a
pain in the neck. Back And Neck Care Center is here to help! Chiropractic
care at our Severna Park chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to be relieving in a fairly
brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
reported that they felt improvement
in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation session.
(1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers
pain-relieving results. One patient with neck pain due
to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen
and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
decreased pain and improved 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 who had neck pain and back pain stated that he
had decreased pain (which fell from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to
ease chronic neck pain, concluded 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 new study stated 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 indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Severna Park
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 Back And Neck Care Center daily! We are ready
to help each of them re-discover the JOY of
the season!
Severna Park CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Severna Park pain relief - relief that lasts - often get
it when they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain lessening
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 don’t
take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So
good!
