Fort Wayne Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care

September 14, 2021

Does any neck pain sufferer enjoy getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Nope! Recent studies are explaining how receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such Fort Wayne neck pain patients avoid treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery.  Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is here to help with that!

EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN

Neck pain alongside Fort Wayne back pain are leading causes of disability globally and here in Fort Wayne. Chiropractic is being related as a safe, helpful option for management of back and neck pain for many such patients. Chiropractic is described as care centered on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is explained as hindering back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that regulate inflammatory pain responses. More research is recommended to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We use spinal manipulation every day at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic.

SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION

Spinal manipulation for neck pain is demonstrated to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients wanting relief find that their treatment is heightened to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such risk was 2.38 times higher in those who received care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation reduced the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the United States. (2) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor uses specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain relief.

SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic flexion distraction, facilitates in relieving pain, a patient case about a patient with neurofibromatosis who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation together with myofascial release, patient education about adapting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care reduced her neck and thoracic spine pain as well as headache frequency. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools and understanding to attain such relief.

PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING

Showing chronic nonspecific Fort Wayne neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to assist their understanding of their condition found that the combination was more helpful. The combination reduced the patients’ pain-disability indices, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That is the goal of care for us at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic: reduced pain.
