February 2020 Healthy News from Connected Chiropractic: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of the patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee analysis of the most current significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults including neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic stated that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors used manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more visits). (1) Elgin chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It is also being reported to be economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri documented that using chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients find success with exercise as part of their treatment plan. Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises in addition to sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly advanced in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed. (4) Increasing the number of steps walked a day over a 6-month period decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did decrease the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Elgin neck pain is a great goal!
