BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Connected Chiropractic incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization, nutrition, exercise, and research-recommended stretching in the general treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Connected Chiropractic follows The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to address neck pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols produced complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain due to a large C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 patients with cervical radiculopathy, Cox® flexion distraction reduced pain in 13.2 treatments (range 6 to 37). (2) A recent paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition of stretching to the plan was more helpful at returning cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion without affecting pain and disability. (3) That is where spinal manipulation and mobilization come into play. They help ease the pain and disability component. Including stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is positive and has its role in the treatment of neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is important! Another study further stated that neck stretching is one of the most successful physical therapy interventions. Static and diagonal active stretching were effective at decreasing neck disability and improving cervical spine range of motion. Additionally, cervical range of motion values significantly showed increases at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study demonstrating positive long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping up with the neck pain relief studies, Connected Chiropractic makes certain to present benefits of various ways to decrease neck pain.
