Elgin Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an everyday condition bringing patients into our Elgin chiropractic clinic! Connected Chiropractic finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent issue today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Connected Chiropractic is prepared to help find some relief from the neck pain with a Elgin chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options are plentiful. One common approach is manual therapy. (Connected Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is combining both. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise reduced disability earlier than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over a month. Manual therapy with exercise increased short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise by itself. (2) Connected Chiropractic has found that patient participation boosts clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Connected Chiropractic follows the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, decreased 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 both that combining the two was valuable. (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) Connected Chiropractic finds that Elgin neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
