February 2020 Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain affects 20% of people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years old. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee review of the most current relevant 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 one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors administered manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more treatments). (1) Fernandina Beach chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being found as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well with exercise as a component 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 reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did decrease the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Fernandina Beach neck pain is a great goal!
