Juneau Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an ordinary condition bringing patients into our Juneau chiropractic clinic! Aurora Chiropractic Center finds that chronic neck pain is a prevalent problem today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Aurora Chiropractic Center is prepared to help coordinate some relief from the neck pain with a Juneau chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options are plentiful. One common method is manual therapy. (Aurora Chiropractic Center offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is mixing the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability faster than manual therapy. (1) A further research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center has observed that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Aurora Chiropractic Center follows the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of the two that combining the two was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Aurora Chiropractic Center finds that Juneau neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
