February 2020 Healthy News from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of their patients are older than 65 years old. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee analysis of the most current significant 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 reported that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults visited one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors used manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more visits). (1) Toronto chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being reported as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri reported that using chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery costs and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs. (3) Chiropractic services at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre works for Toronto neck pain for many.

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 plus 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 decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It didn’t decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Toronto neck pain is a great goal!
