NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S
HELP!
As
much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a
pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic
care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is calm,
effective, and proven to alleviate pain in a reasonably
short 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 more difficult cases (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers
pain-relieving outcomes. A patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing
and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported
reduced pain and improved function in 10 treatments
over a month. 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 reported reduced pain (which fell from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review
of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic
neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to
lessen chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative
therapy lowers the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to continue
care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain
patients: only 39% of
patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks
with long duration of neck pain being the most commong indicator
for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Toronto
neck pain whether it’s acute or chronic, going into
the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck
pain patients walk in our door every day! We are ready
to help each of them find a little more JOY of
the season!
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Toronto
pain relief often get
it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program was
shown to be effective for non-specific neck pain reduction
and better strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (6) To
improve neck pain and disability effects, a study tested and discovered
that isometric exercises significantly reduced 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 beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
