NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic IS HERE TO HELP!

As much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it is a pain in the neck. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is here to help! Chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is calm, effective, and proven to ease pain in a relatively short 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 cases that more difficult (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management provides pain-relieving outcomes. A patient with neck pain due to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported decreased pain and better function in 10 treatments over 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 dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to lessen chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to continue care ‘forever’. A new study wrote that chiropractors do not recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were recommended for 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 Fort Wayne neck pain whether it’s 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 Fort Wayne chiropractic office daily! We are ready to help each one find a little more JOY of the season!

 

Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!

Cervical spine pain patients who want Fort Wayne 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 improved strength of cervical spine flexor, extensor and scapular muscles. (6) To improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found that isometric exercises significantly lessened neck disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7) These are simple exercises that don’t take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So good!
