Largo Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care
Does any neck pain sufferer enjoy getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Not likely. Recent studies are showing that receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such Largo neck pain patients avoid treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is ready to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Largo back pain are primary causes of disability around the world and here in Largo. Chiropractic is being reported as a safe, helpful option for management of back and neck pain for quite a few sufferers. Chiropractic is described as care focused on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is described as hindering back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that control inflammatory pain responses. More research is suggested to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We use spinal manipulation every day at Hollstrom & Associates Inc.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is shown to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients wanting relief find that their treatment is escalated to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such risk was 2.38 times higher in those who got care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the US. (2) Your Largo chiropractor delivers specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic flexion distraction, helps relieve pain, a case report of a patient with neurofibromatosis who experienced headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation together with myofascial release, patient education about adapting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care decreased her neck and thoracic spine pain and headache frequency. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to give him/her the tools and knowledge to realize such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Showing chronic nonspecific Largo neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to assist their understanding of their condition found that the combination helped more. The combination dropped the patients’ pain-disability indices, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s the goal of care for us at Hollstrom & Associates Inc: less pain.
