NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S
HELP!
Joy! Joy! Joy! That’s this time of year…for most of us. For some it’s a
pain in the neck. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help! Chiropractic
care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc is calm,
effective, and proven to be relieving in a reasonably
short timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients
reported that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation treatment.
(1) Even for more difficult cases (like the
following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management provides
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
less pain and better function in 10 visits in a month. The patient was pain
free and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical
C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain reported decreased pain (which fell from
8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 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, proposed that manipulative
therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain
and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to continue
care ‘forever’. A recent study wrote that chiropractors
do not recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of
patients were proposed to continue 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 Largo
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 daily! We are ready
to help each of them find a little more JOY of
the season!
Largo CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!
Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained Largo
pain relief often get
it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved 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 found
that isometric exercises significantly lowered neck
disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7)
These are simple exercises that do not
take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So
good!
