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 can be a
pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic
care at Pflugerville Wellness Center is calm,
effective, and proven to ease pain in a reasonably
brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients
noted that they felt improvement
in their neck disability 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. One patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing
and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
decreased pain and better function in 10 visits in a month. 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 stated that he
had reduced 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, proposed that manipulative
therapy lowers the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care except for certain types of 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 Pflugerville
neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, radiating into
the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck
pain patients walk into this
Pflugerville chiropractic office daily! We are ready
to help each of them find a little more JOY of
the season!
Pflugerville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want Pflugerville pain relief - relief that lasts - often get
it when they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program was
shown to be 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 found
that isometric exercises significantly reduced 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!
