NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S
HELP!
As
much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it is a
pain in the neck. Apple Country Chiropractic is here to help! Chiropractic
care at our Williamson chiropractic clinic is gentle,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a fairly
brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients
reported 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 provides
pain-relieving results. A patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing
and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
decreased pain and improved function in 10 treatments
over 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 reported less pain (which fell 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, described as a safe and less painful method to
lessen chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative
therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to continue
care ‘forever’. A new study wrote that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the strongest indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Williamson
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 Apple Country Chiropractic every day! We are ready
to help each of them re-discover the JOY of
the season!
Williamson CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Williamson 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 decrease
and better strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (6) To
improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found
that isometric exercises significantly reduced neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are simple exercises that don’t
take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So
good!
