Williamson Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an everyday condition drawing patients into our Williamson chiropractic clinic! Apple Country Chiropractic finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent problem nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Apple Country Chiropractic is here to help deliver some neck pain relief with a Williamson chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options abound. One common method is manual therapy. (Apple Country Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself enhanced perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability faster than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over a month. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise by itself. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic has found that patient participation boosts clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Apple Country Chiropractic follows the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of the two that combining the two was advantageous. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Apple Country Chiropractic realizes that Williamson neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
