December 2023 Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Relieving Neck Pain Treatment & Exercise
Joy! Joy! Joy! That’s this time of year…for most of us. For some it’s a pain in the neck. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here to help! Chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is calm, effective, and proven to be relieving in a fairly brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients noted that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation session. (1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving outcomes. One 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 reduced pain and improved function in 10 visits in 4 weeks. 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 fell from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to lessen chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo care ‘forever’. A new study wrote that chiropractors don’t 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 indicator for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Fernandina Beach 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 Fernandina Beach chiropractic office every day! We are prepared to help each one find a little more JOY of the season!
Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Fernandina Beach pain relief often get it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain lessening and improved strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (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 positive effect on neck pain. So good!
