December 2023 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Relieving Neck Pain Treatment & Exercise
As much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a pain in the neck. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is here to help! Chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is calm, effective, and proven to be relieving in a relatively brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients reported that they felt improvement in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation treatment. (1) Even for more difficult cases (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving results. A patient with neck pain due to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported less pain and better function in 10 visits in 4 weeks. The patient was without pain and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain stated that he had reduced pain (which fell from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to alleviate chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative therapy reduces the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to undergo care ‘forever’. A recent study wrote that chiropractors do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks with long duration of neck pain being the strongest guide for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Fort Wayne neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, going 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 every day! We are ready to help each of them re-discover the 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 once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain decrease and better 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 easy exercises that do not take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So good!
